Bill > HR927

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit colleges and universities from compelling students, employees, contractors, or applicants to endorse ideologies that promote differential treatment based on race, color, or ethnicity, or to provide statements about their personal characteristics, experiences with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), or views on race and related topics. Specifically, the bill prevents institutions from requiring individuals to make statements about their race, ethnicity, national origin, DEI efforts, social justice perspectives, or similar topics, and forbids giving preferential treatment to those who voluntarily support such ideological statements. The bill includes important exceptions that allow academic research, voluntary self-disclosure of information, and certain institutional requirements like discussing research, certifying compliance with anti-discrimination laws, and discussing pedagogical approaches. The goal appears to be preventing mandatory ideological statements or diversity loyalty oaths in higher education settings while still preserving academic freedom and the ability to collect necessary demographic information.
