(TEXAS TRIBUNE) - Students at 11 Texas A&M University System schools will see fewer classes related to LGBTQ literature, climate change and women writers meet graduation requirements under a proposal to remove more than 200 classes from general-education course lists.

System regents voted Thursday to scale back the classes that qualify after a review prompted by a new state law that requires public university boards to examine what classes undergraduates must take regardless of their majors.

Regents must ensure those courses "are foundational and fundamental" for a college education and that they prepare students for civic life and the workforce, according to Senate Bill 37.
