Sen. Joni Ernst hopes to create a standard of free speech and expression at public institutions amid Jewish students facing viewpoint discrimination during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is looking to crack down on universities that receive federal funding but discriminate against students based on their viewpoint in a new attempt to protect free speech on college campuses. The Iowa Republican will introduce a new bill on Thursday, the Students Bill of Rights Act of 2024, which would safeguard free speech on public campuses.
The goal of the Iowa Republican's bill is to push back on 'left-wing activists on college campuses,' who she accuses of eroding First Amendment rights, as well as attacks on Jewish students, her office said. Ernst's bill proposes a universal speech and association protection standard for any public universities and colleges that receive funding through Title IV.
