Heavily restricts teaching of “controversial subjects”
Current events, climate change, marriage, and any other topics deemed “political” or “controversial” would be heavily restricted
Bans most diversity policies and programs
Universities must account for any spending on DEI programming and risk losing funding. DEI-related scholarships (for women, for minorities, for other groups) are to be eliminated.
Places departments, majors, and courses at risk
Better hope your major has enough students enrolled in it. It could get cut if too few folks graduate.
Guts workers’ rights
Collective bargaining topics curtailed.
Faculty lose the right to strike.
Bans meaningful tenure
Allows a department chair, dean of faculty, or provost to call for post-tenure review at any time and for cause for a faculty member who has a documented and sustained record of significant underperformance.
Puts professors at risk
Mandates publicly publishing professors’ teaching schedules and syllabi, making it possible for them to be hunted down by anyone.
