Intellectual Freedom Protection Act regulated public postsecondary institutions created, private right of action created, and attorney general enforcement provided.

HF 3101, the Intellectual Freedom Protection Act, prohibits Minnesota's public colleges and universities from requiring students or faculty to pledge support for or opposition to political ideologies (including diversity, equity, and inclusion statements) as a condition for admission, employment, or promotion. It creates a private right for individuals to sue institutions for violations, allowing courts to order injunctions, damages, and attorney fees, while also granting the attorney general authority to seek court orders and impose $100,000 civil penalties per violation. The bill explicitly does not restrict academic freedom, faculty teaching on sensitive topics, compliance with antidiscrimination laws, or consideration of professional qualifications. It also mandates that institutions publicly post all diversity-related policies and training materials online. The law applies to all public postsecondary institutions in Minnesota, including the University of Minnesota system.
