Pronouns, land acknowledgments, and diversity statements are also included in the new syllabus template.

LINK ]Texas Scorecard





quote:

In a typo-filled section of the template, the McCombs School of Business suggests every professor include an apology to Native Americans in their syllabus, acknowledging that they are “meeting on the Indigenous lands of Turtle Island, the ancestral name for what is now North America.”

quote:

The template also tells professors to “list your pronouns under your name and the name of your TA(s),” “acknowledge students may share with you the pronouns they use and/or a name that is different than what appears on the official roster,” and include “an inclusivity/diversity statement.”

They think there was an agreed upon name for North America called "Turtle Island"?

Across the whole continent?

I would love to debate these frickers. I would destroy anyone in a debate about indigenous natives and their treatment.

Oh frick off with this. There isn't a single P5 university in this country, much less the SEC, that doesn't have these woke assholes on the payroll.

Before the turtles’ land was seized and colonized by the indigenous people, of course.

UT is woke dude but its not more woke than the rest of the country. Hyperbole. Our power players are constantly pushing back on this stuff and they have made up a lot of ground, resulting in a President that doesnt push this stuff like previous ones have.

Oh please - yes most unis are now at least a bit woke, but tu is one of the premier woke flagship institutions and has been for a good while. Case in point, crap like this doesn't normally happen on campuses of established SEC schools but is now and has been commonplace on the campus in Austin, the SF of Texas.
