Bill > HR2367

This bill aims to enhance employment accountability in higher education by implementing two key measures related to immigration status verification. 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, as defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act. Second, the bill requires all higher education institutions to participate in the E-Verify Program, which is an electronic system used to confirm the employment eligibility of workers. The Department of Homeland Security would be tasked with monitoring institutions' E-Verify participation every six months and notifying the Department of Education within 10 days if an institution is either found to be employing unauthorized workers or is not participating in the E-Verify Program. By implementing these requirements, the bill seeks to ensure that colleges and universities are complying with immigration employment laws and only employing individuals who are legally authorized to work in the United States. The proposed changes would be added to the existing Higher Education Act of 1965, creating new accountability mechanisms for educational institutions.
