Some of the classes removed from UH's core curriculum include those discussing race and gender, such as Introduction to LGBT Studies, Women and Gender in Arabic Literature, and Intro to Global Climate Change. However, not all courses related to gender or race were removed, and several history courses — including those about Chicano history, U.S. Women's History, and African American history — remain as part of the core classes, according to the list approved Thursday.

Speaking to the board ahead of the vote, Vice Chancellor of Legal Affairs and General Counsel Dona H. Cornell clarified that some of the removed courses are still part of the elective curriculum.


It's a good beginning. UH has much more work to do. As does almost every.single.university in this country.

They were forcing some of those courses on the entire student population? That's insane.

Probably tough to keep them open as simple electives without operating as a loss.

These courses are why a certain subset of people keep claiming they are the my most educated. Educated in bullshite.

Higher education has been mostly turned into a fricking racket.

I strongly suspect that those classes were from a longer list of options from which the students could satisfy degree requirements (a minimum number of credits in "humanities" for example). It is highly doubtful that everybody had to take those exact joke classes.

In any case, though, UH is a woke ghetto school.

Everyone of those shite classes should go.

Along with everything that has 'studies' in the name.

Yeah - I do not recall a single course at LSU back in with 'studies' in the title - but maybe I was not searching the right areas - stuck to engineering.

But still never heard of any.
