Expressing that compelled political litmus tests used by public institutions to require individuals to identify with specific ideological views are directly at odds with the principles of academic freedom and free speech and in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

This resolution criticizes public colleges and universities for requiring people to pledge support for or opposition to any political ideology or movement, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, as a condition of being admitted as a student or hired as an employee. It also encourages these schools to stop asking for or requiring any such pledges or statements.
