Equal Campus Access Act of 2025

Introduced·9/18/25

Equal Campus Access Act of 2025 ensures public institutions of higher education provide religious student organizations the same rights and benefits.

The Equal Campus Access Act of 2025 amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to mandate that public institutions of higher education grant religious student organizations the same rights, benefits, and privileges as other student organizations. This includes full access to campus facilities and official recognition by the institution. The bill prohibits the use of funds to any public institution that denies these rights to religious student organizations based on their religious beliefs, practices, speech, leadership standards, or conduct.
