Restoring Free Speech and Assembly Rights on Public and Private University Campuses.

This law strengthens students' rights to free speech, assembly, and protest on university campuses. Public institutions receiving federal funds must eliminate restrictive "free speech zones" and speech codes, and students whose rights are violated can sue the institution for damages. Private institutions must ensure complete transparency regarding their speech policies or face the loss of federal funding.
Key points
Public universities must abolish "free speech zones" and restrictive speech codes that limit students' free expression in generally accessible areas.
Students whose free speech rights are violated by a public institution can seek compensation in federal court (minimum $500 for the initial violation).
Both public and private institutions risk losing access to federal funding, including student financial aid programs, if they fail to comply with the new speech policy requirements.
Private universities must publicly disclose all policies related to student expressive rights in an easily accessible manner (online and in student handbooks).
