This bill requires colleges and universities to expand how they track and report hate crimes on campus. Currently, schools must report hate crimes by broad categories of prejudice, but this legislation mandates they also break down the data into more specific subcategories based on the identity of victims, using the FBI's Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines as the standard. The bill affects all institutions of higher education that participate in federal student aid programs. By requiring more detailed reporting, the legislation aims to give students, families, and policymakers a clearer picture of which groups experience hate crimes on campus. No specific funding or timeline is specified in the legislation.
