Bill overview
This bill, the Eliminate DEI in Colleges Act, would prevent colleges and universities receiving federal funding from engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Institutions would need to certify that they don’t have programs or offices dedicated to promoting DEI based on factors like race, gender, or sexual orientation. The Department of Education would create regulations to enforce this, and institutions could appeal decisions to terminate federal funding if they believe they’ve been wrongly accused of violating the law.
