DEPARTMENT OF ED ANNOUNCES PROPOSED RULE ON EXECUTIVE ORDERS
The Education Department announced a proposed rule to implement two executive orders from the Trump administration. The first order addresses religious freedom and the second concerns free speech on college campuses.
To implement the first executive order, the rule would prohibit public institutions from denying faith-based student organizations the rights and benefits provided to non-faith-based organizations and "clarify how an educational institution may demonstrate that it is controlled by a religious organization for purposes of Title IX."
The second executive order would be implemented by adding conditions to grant funding that require public and private institutions to comply with their speech policies.
