The University of Texas at Dallas is investigating a professor who has called LGBTQ identity a “medical disorder” and suggested that doctors may find a cure for it.
The university said in a statement on Twitter that it had received “several complaints” about a comment made by a faculty member. While the investigation is going on, the university is opening up other sections of the course that the professor teaches “to provide more options for students.” In addition, it said “the statements by this individual do not reflect the core values of our institution.”
The university did not identify the professor.
But WFAA News said the university’s Rainbow Coalition identified the faculty member as Timothy P. Farage, a professor in the Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, who it said “has a long, well-documented history of hostility on LGBTQ+ issues.”
Farage told WFAA, “I have nothing against homosexuals. I just was suggesting we try to find a cure.”
