得克萨斯州A&M取消研究生道德课程, 担心该课程在新国策下没有足够详细讨论种族和性别议题。 Texas A&M canceled a graduate ethics course over concerns it didn’t detail race and gender discussions enough under a new state policy.

得克萨斯州A&M大学在开始后仅三天就取消了一个研究生伦理课程,指出在如何解决种族、性别和相关议题方面不够详细,该大学说,根据一项限制讨论这些议题而无豁免的新政策,需要这样做。 Texas A&M University canceled a graduate ethics course just three days after it began, citing insufficient detail on how race, gender, and related topics would be addressed, which the university said was required under a new policy limiting discussions on these subjects without an exemption. 该课程自2018年起由Leonard Bright教授教授讲授,侧重于公平、关键种族理论和公共政策道德。 The course, taught by Professor Leonard Bright since 2018, focused on equity, critical race theory, and public policy ethics. Bright说,他说这些题目将贯穿整个学期,但该大学说,教学大纲缺乏确保遵守规定所需的具体内容。 While Bright said he had communicated that these topics would be integrated throughout the semester, the university stated the syllabus lacked required specifics to ensure compliance. 这一决定是整个得克萨斯州A&M的更广泛变革的一部分,这种变革是由一项国家授权的政策引起的,该政策限制如何教授种族和性别,从而引起对学术自由的关切。 The decision is part of broader changes across Texas A&M prompted by a state-mandated policy restricting how race and gender are taught, leading to concerns about academic freedom. 大学表示,它帮助受影响学生寻找替代方案。 The university said it is helping affected students find alternatives.
