In an update to lawmakers, university system leaders expressed worries about how the ban might affect crucial applications for federal funds.
State Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, asked university system leaders to give an update on how they have been implementing the state's DEI ban. Legislators have warned they may pursue new laws to enforce the ban during next year's lawmaking session.

Despite those efforts, university leaders have said it’s been difficult to strike a balance between the DEI ban’s requirements and grant funders’ expectations.
The primary agency for institutional accreditation in Texas, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, is one of the few accreditors that does not have a DEI-related standard, which means Texas colleges do not risk losing accreditation with that agency for complying with the DEI ban, said Rosalind Fuse-Hall, the accreditor’s director of legal and governmental affairs.
