Combating Hate Across Campus Act

Sponsored By: Representative Espaillat, Adriano [D-NY-13]

Introduced

Summary

Requires colleges to report hate crimes broken down by victims' identities. The bill would amend the Higher Education Act so institutions collect and report hate-crime data by category of prejudice and disaggregate that data into subcategories that match the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual.

Show full summary
  • Colleges and universities would need to update reporting systems to record and publish more granular subcategory data about who was targeted. This aligns campus reports with FBI categories.
  • Students and campus communities would get clearer information on which identity groups are being targeted, helping administrators design prevention and support measures.
  • Researchers, policymakers, and the public would receive more comparable campus-level hate-crime statistics for trend analysis and oversight.

New rules for college hate-crime reports

If enacted, colleges and universities would need to report campus hate-crime stats in more detail. They would still report by prejudice category and also show subcategories for the targeted identity. The subcategories would follow the latest FBI hate-crime data guidelines. This would apply to schools covered by federal campus security reporting rules. The bill does not add funding or set reporting dates.
