Requires colleges to be more open about how they handle civil rights complaints.
This bill would make colleges more open about how they handle civil rights complaints, especially those related to race, color, or national origin. Colleges would need clear steps for investigating complaints and telling students and their families about the process and outcomes. It would also set new rules for how the Department of Education's civil rights office handles these complaints.
Today, colleges must follow civil rights laws but lack specific federal rules for how they investigate complaints or inform students. The Department of Education's civil rights office can dismiss or delay investigations if similar complaints are filed elsewhere. After this bill, colleges would need clear, public complaint processes and strict 30-day deadlines for notifying complainants about their case's status and outcome. The Department of Education's civil rights office would be blocked from dismissing or delaying investigations due to parallel complaints.
