Bill > S982

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require colleges and universities to disclose their policies for responding to "incidents of civil disturbance" on campus. Specifically, the bill defines a civil disturbance as a civil unrest activity like a demonstration, riot, or strike that disrupts the community and requires intervention to maintain public safety and prevent disruption of learning. Institutions of higher education will now need to include in their campus security reports a detailed statement about how they would coordinate their response to such incidents with state, local, and campus law enforcement. Additionally, the bill requires accrediting agencies to monitor an institution's compliance with these new disclosure requirements. The bill, titled the "No Tax Dollars for College Encampments Act of 2025," aims to increase transparency about how colleges handle potential campus disruptions and ensure that institutions have clear protocols for managing civil unrest.
