Enhancing Student Protection Against Discrimination on College Campuses.
This Act mandates that colleges receiving federal aid must prominently display information about students' rights under Title VI (protection against discrimination based on race, color, or national origin) and provide direct links to the federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR) complaint system. It increases accountability by requiring institutions to report internal complaints annually and subjects high-complaint institutions to federal audits, ensuring stronger oversight of discrimination cases.
Key points
Colleges must prominently display a link on their homepage to the federal complaint form for race, color, or national origin discrimination.
The federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR) cannot dismiss a complaint solely because it was resolved internally by the institution or another agency.
Institutions must annually report the number of internal discrimination complaints, and those with the highest rates will face federal audits.
