This study examines the civics education offered in Texas, looking first at the American history and government requirements at the state's top public universities. Texas's six public universities that rank highest in the U.S. News and World Report 2022 rankings have been selected: The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), Texas A&M University, The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), Texas Tech University, The University of Houston, and Sam Houston State University. The study finds that Texas's civics and history requirements have not been uniformly enforced. Some universities, especially those that are more highly ranked such as UT Austin and UT Dallas, take advantage of loopholes to undermine legislative intent. The second part of this report examines the rise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures in these six Texas universities and shows how such measures have subjected Texas's higher education to bureaucratic growth and an increasing volume of explicitly politicized curricular and "co-curricular" content.
