A recent AJC article covered how Georgia lawmakers want all public university syllabi to be made public, in line with a movement to keep classrooms free from what has been labeled as “woke.” I’ll save everyone the trouble; I am glad to share my syllabus openly. www.ajc.com/education/20...

Georgia's college faculty worry public syllabus rule could lead to harassment

The policy to make course syllabuses public is being partially implemented this semester. By next fall, every class offered by USG schools must have its syllabus online.
