This year, the organisation is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Since Dr. Henry M. Morris started this off-shoot of the San Diego Christian College it has become autonomous (1981) but is still sadly funded by organisations such as the Combined Federal campaign. The closest disaster we have like this in the UK is Homeopathic remedies being funded by the NHS.
In the same year they gained independence, a School Degree was somehow approved by the State of California. A Masters of Science degree can still be obtained from this graduate school, along with minors in general science, astrophysics, biology, and geology a.k.a. Genesis-9-ology.
Much more recently (2006), the Henry M. Morris Center for Christian Leadership was established in Dallas, Texas. The aim was to expand the work done by ICR, increase web presence (I call it "spam") and support their various ministries.
Mr. Morris's (I refuse to use his title of Doctor) family are carrying on his legacy by "educating" creationists in California. 2007 saw them relocate their headquarters to Dallas, Texas. I see this as predictable: it would've been braver to go somewhere not within the bible-belt. However they have a 5-acre campus with labs, classrooms, library... all sorts of facilities they like to show off, thinking that somehow it makes them a more efficient group.
