UT System Offers Free Tuition for Families Earning $100,000 or Less

AUSTIN, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 22: Students prepare for lecture at the University of Texas at Austin on February 22, 2024 in Austin, Texas. President Joe Biden has announced another $1.2 billion in student loan forgiveness, adding to a total of $138 billion forgiven. That announcement comes despite a Supreme Court Ruling that blocked relief for student loan debt last June. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images)

The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents has unanimously banned drag performances across its 11 campuses, citing concerns over alignment with university values and potential impacts on campus environments. The decision forces events like Draggieland, an annual drag show at the College Station campus, to seek alternative venues.

The resolution argues that drag shows may conflict with institutional policies and contribute to a hostile atmosphere for women. It also raises concerns about perceived promotion of gender ideology, referencing past statements by political leaders opposing the use of public funds for such events.

Student organizations and civil rights groups criticized the policy, calling it an infringement on free expression and LGBTQ+ representation. The move follows a similar cancellation at West Texas A&M University, which is currently the subject of a First Amendment lawsuit.

Texas A&M has recently scaled back LGBTQ+ programs, including cutting a gender studies minor and discontinuing gender-affirming care at its student health center. Meanwhile, the Board of Regents is also in the process of selecting a new system chancellor as John Sharp prepares to step down.
