Bill > HR2555

This bill aims to protect the freedom of association for students in single-sex social organizations (like fraternities and sororities) at institutions of higher education. The bill prevents colleges from taking adverse actions against students solely because they are members of single-sex organizations, such as expulsion, suspension, denying financial aid, withholding recommendations, or restricting campus housing and activities. Specifically, colleges that receive federal funding cannot coerce students to waive their rights to join such organizations or impose recruitment restrictions on single-sex groups that are not applied to other student organizations. The bill does not require colleges to officially recognize these organizations and still allows institutions to take action against students for legitimate misconduct. The legislation defines "adverse action" broadly, covering a wide range of potential punitive measures, and includes protections for both on-campus and off-campus single-sex social organizations that primarily consist of students or alumni. The bill's purpose is to ensure that students can freely associate with and participate in single-sex social organizations without fear of institutional discrimination.
