Summary of Bill HR 10534

Bill 118 hr 10534, also known as the "Student Experience with Discrimination Survey Act," aims to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. The bill proposes that institutions of higher education must conduct an annual survey to measure student experiences with discrimination as a requirement for participating in programs under title IV of the Higher Education Act.

The purpose of this survey is to gather data on instances of discrimination that students may face while attending college or university. By collecting this information, institutions can better understand the prevalence of discrimination on their campuses and take steps to address and prevent such behavior.

The bill does not specify the exact questions or format of the survey, but it does require that institutions report the results to the Department of Education. This data will be used to assess the effectiveness of current anti-discrimination policies and programs in place at institutions of higher education. Overall, the Student Experience with Discrimination Survey Act aims to promote a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students on college and university campuses. By requiring institutions to regularly assess and address issues of discrimination, the bill seeks to create a safer and more welcoming educational experience for all students.
