If I attended Texas Tech right now for my Ph.D., the university would bar me from writing my dissertation about sexuality in the Cold War U.S. Navy.
If TTU receives federal dollars, is this not illegal under the First Amendment?

In an additional attempt to suppress LGBTQ+ speech, the policy includes STUDENTS: "no degree-culminating student research within the TTU System will be permitted to center on SOGI topics,” thus extending "Don't Say Gay" to dissertations and theses. 2/2
The ban applies to theses and dissertations, and is expected to begin going into effect on a rolling basis.
