The Texas Tech University System in Lubbock, Texas announced on April 9 that it will phase out academic programs related to gender identity while establishing new guidelines for how race and sex topics are taught.
A university memo states that the institution will recognize “only two human sexes” and prohibit the endorsement of “gender spectrum” theories or “fluid gender identities.”
The policy, issued by Chancellor Brandon Creighton, outlines a system-wide effort to eliminate sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) programs while allowing currently enrolled students to complete their degrees.
Under the new guidelines, Texas Tech will freeze admissions to SOGI-related programs and conduct a formal review aimed at eliminating associated academic credentials. Lower-level undergraduate courses will shift toward primary texts, while some upper-level and graduate coursework may continue temporarily under limited exemptions.

Well “Guns up”, Red Raiders.
Nice work at the tornado lab, BTW.
“The memo states that instructors may not teach that gender is separate from biological sex as “a factual or scientific baseline,” though the university will still permit objective instruction on topics such as genetics, endocrinology, and intersex conditions.
The policy also prohibits teaching that any race or sex is inherently superior or that individuals bear collective guilt based on identity. It further bans instruction that labels individuals as “racist” or “sexist” based solely on their race or sex.”
How messed up is it that it’s headline news when a science university finally understands science like a 5 year old? Such bravery. Losers.
My daughter went there.
This should not be news. Nobody should be on this silly ass bandwagon in the first place.
That was Texas A&M.
Yes, that was Texas A&M (who Bryant coached for at the time). The Aggies had an unused site at the time in Junction, TX (hence the name Junction Boys). And later Texas Tech moved there.
Biology for the win.
Like a cool glass of lemonade on a warm spring day!
What a long strange trip it has been.
Seriously, but it shows how mentally challenged Democrats and leftists are. Totally insane as they deny scientific fact.
” while allowing currently enrolled students to complete their degrees. “
Degrees in psychiatry and treatment of mental disorders?
Otherwise, just what?
Is there ANYTHING in the marketplace with less value than a degree in sexual orientation and gender identity degree?
Good for them!
Wholly Toledo!
Next thing you know, an American university will “recognize” and value the radical nature of having and using......... Common Sense!

If those “gender studies” students were smart (yeah, I know) they would switch their major to something real.
Cool.
I was once snuck into an OU/TTU game, back in the Blake era with a counterfeit sideline pass as a birthday gift.
I didn’t know it until afternoon fact, though. My wife and the two uh, people who helped with it, a married couple told me the crime I’d just committed.
I said... COOL!!
You don’t know that, though.
Did TT use AI to aid in that conclusion?
