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 adopt and 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 on campus, in school activities, and through school email, networks, or other technology, and describe how reports are handled. Schools would also have to report patterns of harassment and the actions they took. The bill would create a competitive grant program run by the Secretary of Education to fund harassment prevention, counseling, and training programs, and would authorize $50 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2031.
