Students Bill of Rights Act of 2024

This bill, S 4106 (Students Bill of Rights Act of 2024), requires public colleges and universities receiving federal student aid (Title IV funds) to follow specific rules protecting student organizations. It mandates that institutions cannot deny recognition to student groups based on lack of faculty advisors, organizational affiliations, or viewpoint, and must use neutral standards for distributing student activity fees and setting security fees for events. The law provides an appeals process for denied recognition or funding and allows students harmed by violations to sue for remedies like injunctions or damages. Institutions failing to comply face potential loss of federal funding after a court ruling, with the Secretary of Education tracking violations and enforcement actions.
