WASHINGTON (December 20, 2024) — “EdTrust is pleased to support the Creating A More Positive University Space (CAMPUS) Act, introduced by Rep. Summer Lee in the House today. This bill is a thoughtful and essential step toward more welcoming, equitable, and safe college campuses for all students. The legislation aims to gather more granular and useful data on discriminatory incidents via an annual campus climate survey administered by the Department of Education. It would also disaggregate what limited data on these incidents we currently have. We urge Congress and the President to act to protect all students and enact this bill.”
