The Veterans in Campus Safety Act creates a competitive grant program that allows the Department of Education to award money to colleges and universities specifically to hire veterans as campus security personnel. The bill also prohibits any federal funding from going to Equity Assistance Centers, which are federally supported centers that help schools address educational inequities and civil rights compliance. The legislation does not specify the total amount of funding available for the veteran hiring grants or establish a timeline for implementation, leaving those details to the Department of Education to determine. The bill primarily affects institutions of higher education, eligible veterans seeking campus security jobs, and educational equity programs currently receiving federal support.
