Texas Tribune article dives into impacts of SB-17 on higher education institutions

Sat, May 25th 2024 at 7:00 PMA detailed report Friday shows how Texas institutions of higher learning are dealing with SB-17 and the impacts of the bill’s goals to eliminate offices and programs of diversity, equity and inclusion, are having on institutions across the state.

Day is an education reporter for the Texas Tribune. On Friday she wrote an article peeling back the layers Texas public university systems are dealing with in falling into compliance with SB-17 in the form of written responses to the bill’s author, state Sen. Brandon Creighton. “Colleges need their schools to be accredited, to maintain credibility for students to keep federal financial aid,” Day says.

Documents obtained by the Texas Tribune show systems such as the Texas State University System responded to Sen. Creighton with actions its member schools have made to comply with SB-17.
