Defines DEI as differential treatment or assignment of fault based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity (with exceptions for immigration status, sex-segregated facilities, and athletic programs)

Requires accrediting agencies to implement policies ensuring decision-makers are not presented with any DEI-related information during accreditation reviews

Allows current or former students and employees to bring civil lawsuits against violating accrediting agencies, with damages of three times the money paid to the agency (including the five years prior), plus up to $1,000 per student in civil penalties
