"In a welcome development, the university has assessed more than 5,400 course syllabi to ensure that students earn degrees of real value, without being forced to subsidize race or sex discrimination in the process," she added. "The pearl-clutching over censorship is, unsurprisingly, unfounded. After review of thousands of offerings, the university only eliminated six classes — representing a scant 0.11% of total courses available at the school. Texas A & M's re-examination of its core curriculum and degree programs charts the path forward for other universities that want to ensure their degree programs are high-quality, value-neutral, transparent, and cost-efficient. Others should follow the university's example."
