Ohio-based U.S. Senator, J.D. Vance has introduced legislation cracking down on universities to make sure they're complying with the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on Affirmative Action.

If passed, the College Admissions Accountability Act would condition eligibility for federal student assistance and institutional aid on universities' adherence to the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI prohibitions on racial discrimination and preference.

Additionally, the legislation would create a Special Inspector General for Unlawful Discrimination in Higher Education to investigate any college admissions department that may not be complying with the Supreme Court's ruling.

The legislation would also create a mechanism for applicants and university employees to file allegations against college admissions departments, recommend corrective actions and penalties for offending institutions and require regular reports on allegations and corrective actions undertaken by offending institutions.

"For decades, America's higher education cartel has discriminated against applicants and students by adhering to racial preferences under the banner of 'equity.' The Supreme Court's landmark decision in [Students for Fair Admissions] v. Harvard rightly called for an end to these unjust practices," Vance said.

Institutions caught violating these requirements could be subject to ineligibility for federal student assistance and institutional aid.
