True, but I think it's rather beside the point. Administrators shouldn't be censoring materials from professors' syllabi.

Core curriculum is always controlled by the university. The professor can sometimes make requests and get them approved.

At the university level, this is patently false. Professors have wide latitude to pick the texts for their classes except in lower division classes that might be taught by a TA.

Nah, university approves learning objectives for a course, but how the objectives are achieved is up to the professor.
