The Texas Tech University System directed universities to close all academic programs centered on sexual orientation and gender identity, setting a required submission deadline of June 15 for planned eliminations, according to a memo from Chancellor Brandon Creighton. The memo establishes a course policy recognizing only two human sexes and prohibiting endorsement of a gender spectrum as empirical biological science. It requires provosts to identify degree programs, majors, minors, and certificates that the system will eliminate, followed by an admissions freeze for the offerings; currently enrolled students can finish. The move extends similar course review actions already underway elsewhere in Texas, including Texas A&M’s earlier cancellations and faculty revisions. For institutions, it signals tightening governance over curriculum and program scope amid federal and state political scrutiny.
