Latest Action · June 28, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This bill requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to publicly disclose their policies for responding to campus civil disturbances, such as demonstrations, riots, or strikes that disrupt campus life and require police intervention. The disclosure requirement applies to institutions already mandated to share campus security policies under existing federal law, so colleges would need to add information about their procedures for coordinating responses with state, local, and campus law enforcement during these incidents. The bill also requires accrediting agencies that oversee colleges to monitor whether institutions are complying with these new disclosure requirements. The legislation does not establish specific funding or implementation timelines. The bill targets colleges that accept federal financial aid and is intended to ensure transparency about how institutions handle civil unrest on campus.
