Letter Addressing Higher Education Compact

The OCR Alumni Collective wrote to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain how the “Compact For Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is harmful to the education of university students, will likely reduce civil rights law compliance, and is not grounded in a defensible reading of the civil rights statutes and judicial case precedent. The Compact also intrudes on numerous rights of universities by imposing limitations on decisions which serve to define the very core mission and purpose their learning environment.
