Bill > HR5546

This bill, known as the "Combating Hate Across Campus Act," amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to enhance hate crime reporting requirements for institutions of higher education. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to require colleges and universities to not only collect and report hate crime data by category of prejudice, but also to disaggregate that data by subcategories based on the specific identity of targeted individuals or groups. These subcategories would be determined by the most recent Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual published by the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division. This means that instead of simply reporting a hate crime occurred, institutions would need to provide more detailed information about the specific characteristics of the victim, which could help provide a more comprehensive understanding of hate crime patterns on college campuses.
