If you don't know about Texas SB37, it is a sweeping bill that will destroy every university in Texas. This bill has already passed the state Senate and is being considered by the state House this week.

Texas SB37 is a sweeping bill that 
-prevents faculty in being involved in any hiring decisions
-gives political appointees control over what students learn in courses;
-limits discussions on race, sex, ethnicity, politics, religion, and social beliefs;
-restricts faculty hiring in liberal arts and related fields
-dismantles shared governance and due process
-fires faculty and defunds institutions that violate SB 37
-empowers the Governor, Lt. Governor, and House Speaker to redesign the core curriculum for all Associate and Bachelors degrees.
