Bill > H3339

This bill, known as the "Forming Open and Robust University Minds (FORUM) Act," amends the South Carolina Code to define key terms, provide measures to protect student and student organization expressions on public university campuses, establish requirements for university policies and procedures, assign responsibilities to public universities, and outline means of redress for violations. The bill declares the outdoor areas of public university campuses as public forums, prohibits universities from denying benefits to religious, political, or ideological student organizations based on their expression, requires universities to make their free expression policies publicly available, and allows individuals to seek legal action for violations of the act.
