Protecting Students on Campus: New Anti-Discrimination Rules and Complaints

This act aims to increase student awareness of their rights regarding racial, color, or national origin discrimination on college campuses. It mandates the sharing of information about complaint procedures and streamlines their handling, ensuring better protection and equal treatment. Citizens will gain easier access to information about their rights and tools to combat discrimination.
Key points
Colleges must prominently display information about student anti-discrimination rights and provide a link to the complaint submission webpage.
The Department of Education will run a public awareness campaign and report monthly to Congress on the number of discrimination complaints.
Colleges will submit annual reports on discrimination complaints, and the Office for Civil Rights cannot close complaints resolved internally or by other agencies.
