Texas A&M University said on Friday it will end the school’s women’s and gender studies degree program. 

The university wrote in the announcement that the interdisciplinary program was ended due to new school restrictions on curriculum topics and a lack of student interest. The school noted that the program’s students will be allowed to complete their degree. 

In an internal email sent to faculty and obtained by The Texas Tribune, A&M Interim President Tommy Williams and Senior Executive Associate Cynthia Werner said the cut was made due to costs and low enrollment numbers. 

“We know this is devastating news,” the administrators said, according to the Tribune. “One of the primary duties of university administrators is to be good stewards of public money. Even the smallest programs require ongoing investment in faculty time, staff support, and administrative oversight.”

The school, based in College Station, Texas, has been a hotspot in the political debate over gender and sexuality. After an interaction between a student and professor in a class session was uploaded to social media, the professor was fired and the university president stepped down from his role amid pressure from state leaders. 

During a summer class titled “Literature for Children,” a student challenged the class’s professor over gender identity content in the course, saying she was “not sure this was legal to be teaching” while citing an executive order signed by President Trump. When he returned to office last January, Trump issued an order declaring that U.S. policy recognizes “two sexes, male and female” and barring agencies from promoting or otherwise inculcating “gender ideology.”

After a tense argument, the university professor removed the student from the class.
