HR 8445 United States House · 119th Congress

Stop DEI Act

The Stop DEI Act proposes to prohibit federal funding for institutions of higher education. Specifically, it states that colleges and universities would be ineligible for funds from federal education programs. This ineligibility would occur if an institution considers an individual's race, sex, ethnicity, color, or national origin in ways that violate existing civil rights laws. The bill's aim is to prevent federal funds from being used by institutions whose practices related to these characteristics are deemed to be in violation of those laws.
