Bill > S4483

This bill, the Campus Free Speech Restoration Act, generally prohibits public institutions of higher education (IHEs) that participate in federal student-aid programs from restricting noncommercial expressive activities on campus. It also requires private IHEs that receive federal funds to provide students with their policies related to expressive rights. The bill establishes a system for reviewing complaints about speech policies at public IHEs and allows for the loss of federal funding if the policies are found to violate student free speech rights. For private IHEs, the bill requires them to disclose their speech policies and accept contractual obligations related to enforcing those policies, with potential loss of federal funding for non-compliance.
