Bill > S1123

This bill, known as the College Employment Accountability Act, aims to enforce stricter immigration-related requirements for higher education institutions by introducing two main provisions. First, the bill would make colleges and universities ineligible to receive federal student assistance or institutional aid if they are found to be employing unauthorized aliens, which is defined under section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Second, the bill mandates that all higher education institutions must participate in the E-Verify Program, a federal electronic employment verification system designed to confirm the employment eligibility of workers. To ensure compliance, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to monitor institutions' E-Verify participation every six months and notify the Department of Education within 10 days if an institution is either employing unauthorized workers or not participating in the E-Verify Program. These requirements would be added to the existing Higher Education Act of 1965, effectively creating new conditions for colleges and universities to receive federal funding and participate in federal educational aid programs.
