I haven't donated to the University since this DEI nonsense started, and I won't until they've proven it has stopped. I am but a drop in the bucket, but I bet there are many more out there that believe the same way that I do.

I have never donated to A&M. In 26 years since I graduated. They make enough money. I need more of my money than they do. Why should I donate so they send it to Jimbo Fisher and Sumlin?

You could ear tag your money to go to a specific education department

Save your outrage until you see an article that actually lists what the headline is talking about.

Not sure of the four classes this terrible article is referring to, but SOCI 217 Intro to Race and Ethnicity (taught by grad student Dezerae Reyes) seems like DEI garbage FRFR.

Per the syllable, topics below being taught this fall:

Hodson, "Race as a Social Construction"
Bacon and Conroy, "Black Americans are very connected to being Black"
Science Vs. Podcast 11/21/19: "Police Shootings: The Data and the Damage Done"
Pager and Western, "Identifying Discrimination at Work"
Feagin and Sykes "How Black Students Cope with Racism on White Campuses"

All of the above is public information found on the Fall 2024 course listing at https://howdy.tamu.edu/

This is really troubling. It's less than 85% of the number of classes they offer for men!

I bet it's all in the wording..

Texas A&M dropped minoring in multiple woke studies...

I guess it could mean you can't get a minor in the Alphabet mafia, but you can still take the classes.

Indians, Chinese and other immigrants are studying science math medicine, business, law and making big bucks. Next and future governments will have more and more Americans of Indian and Chinese origin.

Blacks in America are studying victimhood and wallowing in self-pity aided by politicians who want their votes.

Wake up, black people. You live in America. Get an education, work hard and build up.

They were dropping minors and certifications that were so unpopular, they were struggling to populate a class and justify their existence.

The real concern here is if there is some type of 'social discourse' requirement to earn your degree. This is reminiscent of the 'multiculturalism' requirements many schools have to graduate.

Omg they have classes about things that exist in the world but I don't personally agree with so we must stop them! There might be 30-40 students learning about the gays! Oh no what will we do!?!? Not another dime but I've never given anyway!

Did you forget Welsh is a fan of DEI? That's why many here opposed him as president

Unless you donate to the 12th Man Foundation, none of your donation goes towards athletics. FYI.

Read SB-17. Teaching and research are exempt. If that bothers you, work with your representatives to change it in the next legislative session.

SB 17 had to go after the administrative stuff first. I expect the legislature to start looking at the curriculum soon.

He supports DEI. Wolf in sheeps clothing. They counted on most Ags being fooled by his military record.

I prefer to air tag mine so I can really track where the money is going

My girl lost??? What a moron if you think I voted for Kamala all because I don't lose my mind over an insanely small issue that has no real impact on the University or the vast majority of its students.

If people want to waste their money on dumb classes like this then be my guest. Making profit off idiots is what makes America great

Students seem to like him, connects with them.
Pretty popular on campus FWIW.

I have 2 kids at A&M, and it is a solidly conservative school. Glad I sent my kids there and will continue to donate. You cannot give up on the institutions you love, you have to fight for them.

That is worthless. You tag your donation to go to engineering, and any equal amount gets moved from engineering to trans-women gender studies.

Do you actually have proof of this happening?

I know that is how the state government works when it comes to education funding, just not sure how that works in college funding. I'm assuming people who do directed giving to specific colleges receive plenty of feedback from those colleges, including information about budgets. So if the budget is the same year after year despite their giving (something I think everyone would notice), they're going to ask questions.

Or do you think these colleges are lying about their budgets and redirecting money to trans-women gender studies, i.e. fraud?
