College Admissions Accountability Act of 2023

HR 6615 establishes a Special Inspector General within the Department of Education to monitor college admissions practices following the Supreme Court's *Students for Fair Admissions* ruling. The inspector general investigates allegations of race-based discrimination in admissions or financial aid at colleges receiving federal student aid, ensuring compliance with the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Institutions found violating these rules could lose eligibility for federal funding, and the inspector general must report quarterly to Congress on investigations, violations, and institutional cooperation. The position is funded with $25 million and will sunset after 12 years. This directly affects all colleges receiving federal aid under the Higher Education Act.
