Hi, Liz,
This is a good question. The UTSA SB17 site suggests contacting Legal Affairs for
questions. I think that’s best here; they should review the request and make a call on
the allowability.

Thanks,

Subject: [Rowdy.research] Question regarding faculty participation in Diversity Review
Panels
Hi Everyone,
I have a Faculty member asking about participation in a NIH Promoting Diversity in
Neuroscience Panel. He just reached out to me and asked if this is acceptable based on
the Texas Law, SB17 (?) that was passed regarding participation in diversity groups.
He asked if participating in this review, “Z46: Research Opportunities for New
Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity”, will cause any trouble.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Please let me know.
Thanks
