Overview
- Current majors and minors will be taught out over six semesters, and no new students will be admitted to the program.

- Leaders said the move reflects compliance with a Texas A&M System regents policy limiting certain race and gender instruction, drawing criticism from PEN America and FIRE and praise from some education-policy advocates.
- The program enrolled about 25 majors and 31 minors and operated as an interdisciplinary offering without its own tenure-line faculty.
- System regents are continuing a broader review of low-performing programs, with a presentation on systemwide findings scheduled for Thursday.
