A bill titled the Tyler Clementi Higher Education Anti-Harassment Act of 2025 was introduced in the House of Representatives. It has been referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce.
Why it matters: This bill addresses the patchwork of harassment policies currently used by different colleges. If enacted, it would replace individual institutional rules with a single federal framework. This is a significant policy change, but as a newly introduced bill, it is still a proposal and may change or fail during committee review.
Who it affects
- Colleges and universities that receive federal funding
