Kansas has signed a law prohibiting “DEI-CRT” content in general education courses, formalizing a new compliance requirement for public-facing curricula and forcing institutions to adjust instructional materials. Separate reporting from Texas Tech University System details a parallel approach in higher education: closing programs centered on sexual orientation and gender identity. Texas Tech’s chancellor Brandon Creighton directed system provosts to identify degree offerings to eliminate and to submit plans by June 15, including a subsequent admissions freeze for those offerings. The memo’s policy framework also restricts recognition to “only two human sexes” and prohibits endorsing a gender spectrum as “empirical biological science.” For colleges, this cluster of actions increases near-term risk on curriculum governance, academic programming continuity, and faculty planning—especially for schools serving students through broad general education and identity-related academic pathways.
