Requiring the state board of regents to establish curricula and designate courses at postsecondary educational institutions relating to DEI-CRT-related courses and content and requiring the study of American institutions and certain programs at freshman orientations concerning free speech.

HB 2428 requires Kansas public universities, community colleges, and technical colleges to revise curricula by prohibiting mandatory enrollment in DEI-CRT courses (defined as courses covering topics like systemic racism, critical race theory, or gender-based equity). It mandates that all bachelor's degree programs starting in 2027-2028 include a new general education course on American institutions, requiring study of founding documents, constitutional principles, and free speech. The bill also requires freshman orientations to cover campus free speech policies and include programming on the First Amendment. These provisions apply directly to all public postsecondary institutions in Kansas, with limited exemptions for programs explicitly focused on racial, ethnic, or gender studies.
