Students Bill of Rights Act of 2024

The Students Bill of Rights Act of 2024 requires public colleges and universities receiving federal student aid funds to protect student organizations and events from viewpoint-based restrictions. It prohibits schools from denying recognition to student groups due to content, viewpoint, or inability to secure a faculty advisor, and mandates clear, neutral standards for distributing student activity fees and setting security fees for events. Schools must provide transparent appeals processes for denied recognition or funding, and face potential loss of federal funds if they fail to comply with court rulings against them. Students harmed by violations can sue in federal court for remedies like injunctions, damages, or attorney fees.
