Free Speech On Campus Act

HR 2634, the Free Speech On Campus Act, requires public colleges and universities to implement specific free speech education for students. It mandates that institutions provide new and transfer students with a written statement explaining First Amendment rights and their commitment to free expression, along with educational programming about campus speech policies and respectful discourse. Institutions must also post this statement on their public websites. The bill directly affects public higher education institutions by requiring these specific orientation and website disclosures as a condition of federal funding under the Higher Education Act.
