Plain-English Summary

This resolution condemns public institutions of higher education (IHEs) for conditioning an individual's admission to or employment at the IHE on the individual pledging allegiance to or making a statement of personal support for or opposition to any political ideology or movement (e.g., diversity, equity, and inclusion). It also discourages IHEs from requesting or requiring any such pledge or statement.
