Limiting Federal Funds for Medical Schools with DEI Policies

This bill aims to cut off federal financial aid to graduate medical schools that implement specific diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. This means students and staff at these schools cannot be compelled to adopt certain views on race or gender, and schools cannot establish dedicated DEI offices or require diversity statements. In practice, this could affect the availability of scholarships and student loans at schools that do not comply with the new rules.
Key points
Medical schools requiring students or staff to affirm specific views on race, sex, or origin will lose access to federal funds and student loan programs.
Prohibits the establishment of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices and the requirement of diversity statements for admission or employment.
The bill does not prevent teaching about unique medical needs related to sex or race, nor collecting demographic data for informational purposes.
