The move aims to bring the campus into compliance with a directive from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last month that called on state agencies to eliminate the cybersecurity risks posed by TikTok, Jeff Nyland, adviser to the president for technology strategy, said in a message to students. TikTok has faced growing scrutiny from state and federal officials over fears that American data could fall into the possession of the Chinese government.
