The relocation of the Graduate School in particular has necessitated a re-application for State accreditation from the Texas Higher-Education Coordinating Board, primarily because TRACS is not recognized in Texas. ICR Graduate School has already passed a preliminary review, but widespread publication of the process has prompted an anticreation group calling itself ''Texas Citizens for Science'' to mount another propaganda campaign against accreditation.<ref name=phone>Carlson, Cindy, curator, Museum of Creation and Earth History.
