New from Andrew Joseph Pegoda: In an attempt to overcomply with #Texas law, the University of #Houston will eliminate over 100 women's studies, gender and sexuality courses from the core curriculum.

"The Chronicle reviewed the websites of the 21 most-expensive or top-rated schools in the area that are not participating in the voucher program.
