Tyler Clementi Higher Education Anti-Harassment Act of 2025

This bill would require colleges and universities that take part in federal student aid programs to publish a policy on harassment of students based on race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), disability, or religion. The policy would have to ban such harassment by students, faculty, and staff, including harassment through electronic communications, and describe reporting procedures, possible sanctions, and available counseling services. Schools would also have to report patterns of harassment and the actions they took. The bill would create a competitive federal grant program for colleges to prevent harassment and provide counseling and training, with $50 million authorized each year from 2026 through 2031.
