=== Accreditation affected ===
==== The ICR Graduate School ====
The [[ICR Graduate School]] had for years been offering graduate degrees in [[California]]. Then in 1986 California abruptly changed its rules, and its new Superintendent of Public Instruction, [[William Honig]], determined to stop ICR at any cost. ICR had to sue the State in federal court to get his decisions reversed.
Now ICR has decided to move to [[Texas]] and is encountering the same difficulties. Recently the Academic Excellence and Research Committee of the Texas Higher-Education Coordinating Board voted unanimously to deny the ICR Graduate School's application for accreditation. The Texas Commissioner of Higher Education said only, "Religious beliefs are not science." ICR might appeal the process administratively, submit a new proposal, or sue the State of Texas for injunctive relief. See [[ICR Graduate School#Controversy]] and [[ICR Graduate School#Texas Relocation]] for full details.
