"The memo bars professors from discussing LGBTQ+ topics in core and lower-level courses and eliminates entire fields of study across the five-university system."
"The censorship regime extends beyond professors to students themselves: the memo states that 'no degree-culminating student research within the TTU System will be permitted to center on SOGI topics.'"
"Under the new policy, all majors, minors, certificates, and graduate degrees 'centered on' sexual orientation or gender identity will be eliminated."
Texas Tech University has introduced a severe censorship policy targeting LGBTQ+ topics, mirroring the 'Don't Say Gay' initiative. Professors are prohibited from discussing LGBTQ+ issues in core courses, and entire fields of study will be eliminated. Textbooks containing LGBTQ+ content must be ignored, and student research on sexual orientation and gender identity is banned. This policy, issued by Chancellor Brandon Creighton, impacts all five universities in the Texas Tech University System, which serves around 64,000 students, and mandates the removal of related majors and degrees.
