“反种族主义”和“酷儿”学术研究也受到鼓励，德州基督教大学希望聘用一位新的作文教授，要求其特别精通“跨性别修辞”、“黑人研究”或“反种族主义修辞”。
‘Antiracist’ and ‘queer’ scholarship also encouraged Texas Christian University wants to hire a new composition professor who is particularly versed in “trans rhetoric,” “Black studies,” or “antiracist rhetoric.”
申请这份将于2027年8月开始的新修辞与作文教授职位的人员，如果对“残疾研究”、“全球/跨国修辞”，或女性主义和“酷儿修辞”感兴趣，也将被考虑。英语系将接纳这位新员工，这也将使他们有机会在性别研究和族裔研究项目中任教。由于预算问题和招生人数低，这些项目去年已并入英语系。
Applicants for this new rhetoric and composition professor job, starting in August 2027, will also be considered if they have interests in “disability studies,” “global/transnational rhetorics,” or feminism and “queer rhetorics.”The Department of English will host this new hire, which will also give them an opportunity to teach in the gender studies and ethnic studies programs. These programs were collapsed last year into the English department due to budget issues and low enrollment.
招聘启事称：“具备相关专长的候选人还可为我系的比较种族与族裔研究项目、妇女与性别研究项目，以及数字文化/数字分析项目和其他跨学科计划做出贡献。”
“Candidates with relevant expertise may also contribute to our department’s programs in Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies and Women and Gender Studies as well as the program in Digital Culture/Digital Analytics and other interdisciplinary initiatives,” the posting states.
《学院修正报》联系了德州基督教大学，就该招聘信息如何契合该系的学习目标，以及与该校作为私立基督教院校的使命相符程度发表评论。
The College Fix reached out to Texas Christian University for a comment regarding how the job listing fits into the department’s learning goals and with the school’s mission as a private, Christian institution.
“我会了解一下，”发言人格雷格·斯泰利告诉《学院修正报》。在过去几周里，他未提供任何进一步信息。
“I’ll look into it,” spokesman Greg Staley told The Fix. He has not provided any further information in the past several weeks.
遗产基金会高级研究员科里·德安杰利斯告诉《学院修正报》，该招聘信息是高等教育将政治意识形态置于基础技能之上的一个例证。
Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told The College Fix that the job listing is an example of higher education prioritizing political ideology over foundational skills.
“德州基督教大学为修辞与作文教授发布的招聘广告读起来像是一份DEI（多元、公平与包容）忠诚度测试，”德安杰利斯告诉《学院修正报》。“他们想要一位从事‘健康与医学修辞’研究的人，其研究要借鉴残疾研究、原住民研究、黑人研究、女性主义修辞、酷儿修辞和反种族主义写作。”德安杰利斯表示，大学应专注于语法和清晰论证等基本功，而非政治潮流。
“TCU’s job ad for a rhetoric and composition professor reads like a DEI loyalty test,” DeAngelis told The College Fix. “They want someone in ‘rhetorics of health and medicine’ whose research draws on disability studies, Indigenous studies, Black studies, feminist rhetoric, queer rhetorics, and antiracist writing.”DeAngelis said that universities should focus on fundamentals like grammar and clear arguments instead of political trends.
“修辞与写作专业的学生应该学习如何写得清晰、构建论证、运用证据以及掌握语法，”德安杰利斯说。“‘跨性别修辞学’不应出现在写作教授的招聘标准中。”德安杰利斯说，高等教育面临着因偏向行动主义而忽视基本读写能力的风险。
“Students in rhetorics and composition should learn how to write clearly, build an argument, use evidence, and handle grammar,” DeAngelis said. “‘Trans rhetorics’ does not belong on the hiring criteria for a writing professor.”DeAngelis said higher education risks neglecting basic literacy in favor of activism.
“大学不断用政治活动家充实写作项目的师资，然后又纳闷为什么毕业生写不出一个通顺的句子，”他说。“家长和学生理应接受读写能力教学，而不是另一场围绕性别意识形态构建的教职招聘。”这并非德州基督教大学唯一一个引来外部专家关注的职位招聘。
“Universities keep staffing writing programs with political activists and then wonder why graduates can’t produce a coherent sentence,” he said. “Parents and students deserve instruction in literacy, not another faculty search built around gender ideology.”This is not the only job posting at TCU to draw scrutiny from outside experts.
隶属于德州基督教大学的布莱特神学院此前曾寻找一位具有“性别与性取向研究、女性主义、女权主义、酷儿、后殖民、后现代以及种族/文化研究”背景的圣经学者。《修正报》此前报道，尽管该神学院在法律文件上独立于大学，但它在德州基督教大学校园内运作，并提供合作学位。
The Brite Divinity School, affiliated with TCU, previously sought a Biblical scholar with a background in “gender and sexuality studies, womanist, feminist, queer, postcolonial, postmodern, and racial/cultural studies.”Though independent from the university on paper, it operates on TCU’s campus and offers collaborative degrees, The Fix previously reported.
拥有神学学位的“21项目”大使卡里斯玛·皮普尔斯表示，“神学院的存在是为了培养牧师，而非生产进步派学者。”准确媒体组织6月发布的视频显示，一位德州基督教大学教授谈到，该校的健康科学项目仍在继续关注DEI（多元、公平与包容）和“种族意识”议题。
Charisma Peoples, an ambassador with Project 21 who has theology degrees herself, said “divinity schools should exist to train pastors, not produce progressive academics.”Video released in June by Accuracy in Media also shows a Texas Christian professor discussing how the school’s health sciences program continues to focus on DEI and “race conscious” topics.
艾莎·约翰逊教授表示，虽然该校名义上是基督教院校，但在实践中“在很多方面并非如此”。“我认为我们非常进步，”她说。
Professor Aesha Johnson said while the school is officially Christian, in practice it isn’t “in a lot of ways.”“I think we are very progressive,” she said.
