#S982: Potential penalties for #universities based on #protest policies
"Would make federal #accreditation of colleges and universities—and thus their access to #FederalFunds—contingent on the institution’s policies on responding to protests. Under the 'No Tax Dollars for #CollegeEncampments Act of 2024,' universities would have to regularly disclose how they respond to campus 'incidents of civil disturbance,' defined to include 'a demonstration, riot, or strike,' and their accreditation would be linked to such policies and practices. The bill sponsor cited #ProPalestine campus protests as motivation for the bill; he introduced the same bill in 2024."
Status: pending
Introduced 12 Mar 2025.
Issue(s): Campus Protests, Riot
Post by bill's sponsor, Senator #JimBanks (R-Ind.):
