UNT Faculty Criticize Course Name Changes as Overreach

UNT Faculty Criticize Course Name Changes as Overreach

by | Nov 19, 2024 | Select News

Faculty at the University of North Texas (UNT) have raised concerns about the university’s decision to rename and revise nearly 200 courses, primarily in the College of Education. The changes include the removal of references to race, class, gender, and equity, reportedly in response to Texas Senate Bill 17. While the law prohibits DEI offices, it does not mandate adjustments to course content.

Critics argue these actions represent overcompliance, threatening academic freedom and stifling discussions on diversity and inclusion. UNT, however, asserts that the revisions align with state education standards, a claim many see as unnecessary censorship undermining inclusive education.

Stephanie Schils, a dedicated financial professional, recently shared her inspiring experience leading a Rock the Street, Wall Street (RTSWS) workshop series at a New York City public high school for international students.

Over five weeks, she guided 25 multilingual young women through essential financial topics, including interest fundamentals, stocks and bonds, retirement planning, investment risk, and college financial planning.

By connecting these concepts to real-life scenarios, such as the impact of consumer purchases on company stock performance, Stephanie made finance relatable and engaging.

She emphasized the importance of fostering a supportive learning environment to empower young women in finance, aligning with RTSWS’s mission to close the gender wealth gap and inspire careers in STEM fields.
