FIRE had discussions with Congressional staffers about the pending Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. In particular we discussed campus free speech issues, freedom of association issues, and due process issues that FIRE would like to see addressed in the reauthorization. Some of these conversations were in the context of the PROSPER Act (H.R. 4508), while other conversations were focussed on FIRE's support of the FREE Act (S. 2394) which would prohibit public institutions of higher education from quarantining speech to misleadingly labeled free speech zones. FIRE also had communications with congressional staffers to urge congress to prohibit institutions of higher education from demanding students' passwords to their social media accounts. No bill is pending on this issue.
