George Mason University has fully embraced social justice ideology. As a current PhD student, I’ve seen major shifts since 2020, including a rapid expansion of LGBTQ+ resources and visibility on campus. From my office window, I’ve observed a noticeable rise in non-binary fashion trends among female students. I even started a tally to track this and may turn it into an observational project this spring.
I’ve spoken with staff in the counseling department about gender-affirming care and confirmed that the university has held seminars on the topic for children as young as 12. This reflects the university’s broader focus on promoting gender ideology.
This semester, I faced serious challenges as an instructor. Administration repeatedly interfered with my autonomy, and I dealt with immense pressure from students and parents. Despite providing rigorous exams and support, I found grade inflation to be rampant. Most of my classes felt like remedial high school courses. The university prioritizes profit, relying heavily on PhD students to teach while handing out inflated grades and participation trophies.
I don’t recommend GMU for undergraduates, as most classes are taught by PhD students rather than experienced professors. For questions, reach out on Instagram at @criticalmetrics. ~ Staff
