A proposal is underway to remove certain classes from general-education course lists at 11 university system schools. The classes in question relate to topics such as LGBTQ literature, climate change, and women writers. If approved, this change would affect the classes that meet graduation requirements for students.
System regents are set to vote on the proposal, which is a result of a new state law requiring a review of undergraduate courses every five years. The law mandates that the courses be "foundational and fundamental" for a college education.
Further details on the proposal and its potential impact are available from the source.
