Protecting Students on Campus Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill requires colleges and universities that receive federal student aid to share information with students about their right to report discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights must run a public awareness campaign about these rights, and schools must post information on their websites and in busy areas on campus explaining how students can file discrimination complaints. The bill also requires the Office for Civil Rights to brief Congress every month on the number of complaints it receives and how it is handling them, and it prevents the office from closing a complaint just because another agency is also looking into it. Schools would also have to report on discrimination complaints each year, and the Department of Education's inspector general would be required to review and study those complaints.
