Dr. Walter Wendler, the president of WTAMU, sent out a university-wide email asserting that "the safest [sex] occurs between a husband and wife in a drug-free, lifelong monogamous relationship." Dr. Wendler misrepresents scientific research to cast doubt on the effectiveness of contraceptives while appealing to heterosexist prejudices. His remarks foster discrimination and alienate LGBTQ+ members of the university's student body. 

Dr. Wendler owes the faculty and students of West Texas A&M an apology. His email tarnishes the institution's reputation and damages the school's goal of creating an inclusive, diverse space for learning.
