Protecting Students on Campus Act of 2025

This bill requires colleges and universities receiving federal funds to prominently display a link to file discrimination complaints (based on race, color, or national origin) on their main website homepage. It mandates annual posting of a public awareness campaign about Title VI rights in high-traffic campus locations and on institutional websites. Schools must also submit annual reports to the Education Department’s Inspector General detailing discrimination complaints received, their analysis, and actions taken. The bill aims to improve student awareness of civil rights protections and increase accountability by tracking complaints, requiring transparency through congressional briefings, and auditing high-complaint institutions.
