Requires colleges to clearly share student discrimination rights and how to report issues.
Colleges would have to put information about student discrimination rights and how to report issues right on their websites and around campus. This bill aims to make sure students know their rights under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which protects against discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. It also changes how the Department of Education's civil rights office handles these complaints.
Today, colleges aren't explicitly required to prominently display information about Title VI rights or how to file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights. The Office for Civil Rights can also close complaints if they've been handled elsewhere. If this bill becomes law, colleges would have to put this information on their homepages and in high-traffic areas, and the Office for Civil Rights would change its rules to ensure it reviews all complaints it receives, regardless of other resolutions.
