HR 927 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit institutions of higher education from requiring ideological oaths or similar statements, and for other purposes.

HR 927 prohibits colleges and universities from requiring students, employees, or applicants to endorse ideologies promoting racial, ethnic, or color-based discrimination or to provide statements about their race, ethnicity, national origin, or views on diversity, equity, and inclusion topics. The bill specifically bars institutions from using such statements for admissions, hiring, or contracting decisions. It includes key exceptions allowing institutions to request research content, certification of compliance with antidiscrimination laws, or discussions about teaching approaches. The law does not restrict academic coursework, research, or voluntary disclosures of personal information.
