Free Speech On Campus Act

HR 3505, the Free Speech On Campus Act, requires public colleges and universities to provide new students with a written statement explaining First Amendment rights and the institution's commitment to free expression during orientation. It mandates educational programming about campus speech policies, respectful dialogue, and constitutional protections, including online resources. The bill also requires institutions to post this statement on their public website. These requirements apply specifically to public institutions receiving federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
