On September 21, 2025, The Concho Observer reported that Angelo State University is implementing a new policy forbidding faculty “discussion of transgender topics or any topics that suggest there are more than two genders.” Transgender-related topics on syllabi are also prohibited. Additionally, the university has stipulated, “[s]afe-space stickers, LGBTQ flags, etc. are not allowed and must be removed.” Finally, faculty are barred from referring to students by their preferred names. On September 23, FIRE wrote ASU explaining that these restrictions violate the First Amendment. FIREcalled on the university to immediately withdraw the policy.
