(Austin, TX) --State Senator Brandon Creighton, whose district includes Jefferson County, is likely to be the next chancellor of the Texas Tech University System. Texas Tech Board Chair Cody Campbell stated on Sunday that he expects Creighton to receive the board's unanimous support. Creighton is a Conroe Republican who championed higher education reforms that banned DEI programs, reduced faculty influence, and tightened rules on campus protests. House Speaker Dustin Burrows, a Texas Tech alumnus, is already congratulating Creighton.
