This bill requires colleges and universities to collect and report more detailed information about hate crimes occurring on their campuses. Currently, schools must track hate crimes by general categories of prejudice (such as race or religion), but this legislation would require them to break down that data further by specific subcategories based on the identity of victims or targeted groups, following FBI guidelines. The bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to strengthen transparency requirements that already exist for campus security reporting. No specific funding or implementation timeline is provided in the legislative text. The measure would primarily affect higher education institutions and their students by making hate crime data on campuses more granular and publicly available.
