This bill would stop federal money to colleges that run diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs or keep DEI offices. To keep getting any federal funds—including access to federally funded or guaranteed student loan programs—colleges must promise they do not and will not run DEI activities or maintain DEI offices, and they must share information if asked to prove it. The Department of Education would write rules to carry this out, and there is a set process to appeal if funding is cut.
The bill defines DEI as classifying people by race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and giving different or preferred treatment based on that classification.
