To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit graduate medical schools from receiving Federal financial assistance if such schools adopt certain policies and requirements relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

HR 3518 would deny federal funding to graduate medical schools that require certain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Specifically, schools must certify they do not compel students or staff to affirm specific beliefs about race, gender, or systemic racism; require "diversity statements" for admission or employment; establish DEI offices; or discriminate based on race in programs. This affects graduate medical schools at institutions of higher education seeking federal financial aid, including student loan programs. The bill permits schools to teach about medical conditions related to race or collect demographic data, but prohibits policies mandating DEI-related pledges or offices.
