College Admissions Accountability Act of 2023

This bill establishes a Special Inspector General within the Department of Education to investigate admissions practices at colleges receiving federal student aid that violate the Equal Protection Clause (following the *Students for Fair Admissions* Supreme Court ruling) or Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. It requires the Inspector General to review complaints from applicants or students about race-based discrimination, recommend corrective actions, and potentially block federal funding for institutions found in violation. The law directly affects all colleges and universities receiving federal financial aid under the Higher Education Act. Key provisions include quarterly reporting to Congress on investigations and a $25 million funding allocation for the new office, with the position set to sunset after 12 years.
