Updated: Mar 12, 2025

Summary

This legislation amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to mandate new disclosure requirements for institutions of higher education. Specifically, it requires colleges and universities to publicly disclose their policies regarding how they will respond to incidents of civil disturbance occurring on campus. These required disclosures must include details on the institution's coordination with State, local, and campus law enforcement during such events. The bill defines a "civil disturbance" as any civil unrest activity, such as a demonstration, riot, or strike, that disrupts the community and necessitates intervention to maintain public safety or prevent the disruption of learning. Furthermore, the legislation tasks accrediting agencies with the responsibility of monitoring institutions' compliance with these new disclosure obligations.
