ACLS Program Officer Stacy Hartman Addresses Need for Transparency in Graduate School Research Limitations

ACLS Program Officer for Higher Education Initiatives, Stacy Hartman, spoke with High Plains Public Radio and addressed concern about the long-term impact on graduate students unaware of these research limitations and urges Texas Tech for greater transparency, especially as this may impact anyone conducting research in the humanities and social sciences.

Texas Tech University leadership reportedly instructed faculty to not disclose the chancellor’s memo restricting graduate work related to sexual orientation or gender identity. Experts warn this could cost prospective graduate students valuable time and costs.
