To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit institutions of higher education from requiring ideological oaths or similar statements, and for other purposes.

HR 6848 prohibits colleges and universities from requiring students, employees, or applicants to endorse ideologies promoting racial discrimination or to provide statements about their race, ethnicity, or views on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. It specifically bans institutions from compelling such disclosures or offering preferential treatment based on unsolicited statements about these topics. The bill exempts academic research, voluntary disclosures, and requirements for applicants to discuss research content, comply with antidiscrimination laws, or address teaching approaches for students with disabilities. It directly affects higher education institutions receiving federal funding under the Higher Education Act.
