Overview
- Current students may finish the program within six semesters, but the university will not admit new majors or minors.
- Administrators announced the decision alongside results of a campus review that examined roughly 5,400 spring syllabi and canceled six undergraduate courses.
- Deans sent 54 elective courses for executive review under the regents policy, and the president and provost granted 48 written exemptions.
- Faculty leaders say the six cancellations understate the impact because hundreds of syllabi were revised or readings removed to avoid scrutiny.
- Officials cite small program size and costs in the phase‑out, noting about 25 majors and 31 minors, as PEN America and FIRE criticized the move as censorship.
