‘Very progressive’: Professor says Texas Christian U. is ‘growing’ DEI curriculum

Texas Christian University Professor Aesha John was caught on camera saying the school’s nursing and health science program is “growing” its diversity, equity, and inclusion program.

“Over time, we have become even more intentional about being race-conscious,” John told an undercover reporter with watchdog group Accuracy in Media.

For example, “If a white scholar is doing research, how does that impact the findings?” she said.

The associate professor also said she deliberately tries to discuss race in her classes.

“I teach research where I can easily not talk about those things, but I make a conscious effort to talk about those things also,” the professor said.

She added that while the school is officially Christian, in practice it isn’t “in a lot of ways.”

“I think we are very progressive,” she said.

“I think Baylor has employees sign a statement about abiding by Christian values. At TCU, we do no such thing,” John said.

Despite President Donald Trump’s ban on DEI practices, John said the school has continued operating “as usual.”

Although TCU is a private university and not governed by the University of Texas System Board of Regents, it still receives federal grants and funding.

“We are still teaching what we were teaching pre-election. And we talk about gender issues and pretty much all DEI-related issues. We still offer a class on diversity and social justice,” the professor said.

Further, John said one of her colleagues uses “ungrading,” an “inclusive” method in which the professor skips traditional grading during the semester and instead meets with each student at the end to “collaboratively” agree on a final grade.

John told the AIM reporter that “students from marginalized communities do really well with that kind of ungrading approach, versus using a common yardstick for all students.”
