Bill > HR8708

This bill, titled the "Eliminate DEI in Colleges Act," proposes to prohibit federal funding for institutions of higher education that carry out diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Specifically, the bill would require colleges and universities to certify that they do not have any programs, projects, or entities that advocate, promote, or support DEI. The bill defines DEI as the concept of classifying individuals based on race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and providing them with differential or preferential treatment based on such classification. The bill also outlines an appeals process for institutions that have their federal funding terminated for non-compliance.
