Sam Houston State University, a member of the Texas State University System, has added sexual orientation and gender identity to its Equal Employment Opportunity policy.
The school, situated in Huntsville, is the first public college outside of a major urban area in Texas to add the protections. The revised policy applies to employment, admission, and campus life and activities.

http://shsu.edu/~pin_www/T@S/2012/equalitypolicy.html#.T1ebGbd4wxs.facebookSam Houston State University recently made a giant step toward the "state of equality" by revising its Equal Employment Opportunity policy and nondiscrimination statement to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Led by Vice President for Student Services Frank Parker, the President's Cabinet voted to add the two as protected classes into three areas of SHSU policy, including Chapter V for "Component Personnel," which outlines employment qualifications; Chapter VI for "Student Services Activities," which outlines admissions criteria; and Chapter VII's non-discrimination policy involving campus life and activities.
