Student Rights: New Rules for Colleges on Discrimination Complaints
This law requires colleges and universities receiving federal aid to actively inform students about their rights against discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. It ensures easier access to information on how to report such issues and increases oversight on how institutions handle these complaints, aiming to create a more transparent and fair campus environment for all students.
Key points
Colleges must prominently display information about student rights against discrimination and provide a direct link to file complaints with the Department of Education.
Institutions will be required to publicly post awareness materials about civil rights on campus and report annually on discrimination complaints they receive.
Increased government oversight will track how colleges handle discrimination complaints, with audits for institutions receiving many reports.
