- Texas Tech to recognize only two sexes, freezes gender programs
Texas Tech University will recognize only two sexes, male and female, and freeze academic programs related to sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). The policy, effective after a December 2025 curriculum review, restricts SOGI content in core courses but allows exemptions for graduate-level 'teach-out programs.' The decision aligns with Senate Bill 37, which increased state oversight of college curricula.
