Sponsored By: Representative Kim, Young [R-CA-40]
Introduced
Summary
Blocks federal education funds to colleges and universities that use race, sex, ethnicity, color, or national origin in ways that violate federal civil‑rights laws. It would apply to funds under any "applicable program" using the term from the General Education Provisions Act and to institutions as defined in the Higher Education Act of 1965. The bill ties federal education support to compliance with federal civil‑rights protections and would prevent federal funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion practices that run afoul of those protections.

Limit federal college DEI funding
If enacted, this bill would bar federal education funds under any “applicable program” from going to a college found to violate federal civil rights laws by using race, sex, ethnicity, color, or national origin. It would use the meanings of “applicable program” (section 400 of the General Education Provisions Act, 20 U.S.C. 1221) and “institution of higher education” (section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. 1002). Agencies that run applicable programs would be prohibited from providing funds to such institutions. The rule would take effect upon enactment and could reduce programs, services, or student aid at affected colleges.
