FIRE reviewed and provided analysis of drafts of a potential Student Bill of Rights and an additional draft piece of legislation that would protect free expression on college campuses. FIRE also provided analysis to Ed and Workforce committee staff and other congressional offices regarding how to combat anti-Semitism without infringing on students' free speech rights. FIRE analyzed and joined a coalition letter to Senator Schumer opposing the Stop CSAM Act (S.1199) which would have undermined free speech online by imposing liability on social media companies for hosting content related to conduct, including expression, related to child exploitation. We met with a Senate office to discuss our support for the RAP Act (H.R. 2952) which would change the federal rules of evidence to protect the free speech rights of artists, so their fictional works are not used as the basis of criminal prosecutions, unless there is additional evidence tying the works to details of the crimes only the perpetrators would know.

FIRE had meetings with congressional offices in the House and Senate to discuss campus free speech and review draft language thathas not yet been introduced. These discussions also included the possibilitythat the issue would be addressed in any Higher Education Act Reauthorization that might be introduced in the future. FIRE reviewed congressional resolutions opposing book bans including HRes 1392 and SRes 838. We wrote publicly in support of aspects of each resolution. We also shared feedback on draft language for an additional resolution on banned books that has not yet been introduced. FIRE also participated in a Congressional Roundtable hosted by the Republican members of the House Education and Labor Committee on the topic of campus freespeech.

We did not engage in any advocacy on those bills, but conducted research in anticipation of future advocacy on them. FIRE also engaged in grassroots lobbying by publishing a video on YouTube urging viewers to contact their member of Congress in support of theRestoring Artistic Protection Act of 2022 (HR 8531) which prohibits federal prosecutors from introducing an artist's rap lyrics againstthem as proof or wrongdoing in criminalprosecutions,subject to some exceptions.

FIRE participated in a roundtable on the issue of free speech on college campuses hosted by the Republican members of the House Education and Labor Committee. We also expressed concerns over provisions in the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization (S. 3623 later enacted in HR 2471) that would provide grants to institutions of higher education to use potentially biased trainings when training those on campus who are responsible for adjudicating Title IX claims. We were also concerned about the implications of the federal government adopting a definition of affirmative consent in the bill. FIRE also worked with Senate offices on potential legislation on campus free speech that has not yet been introduced. FIRE also met with OMB and Department of Education staff to share some of our general free speech and due process concerns with respect to the Department of Education's plan to amend the existing Title IX regulations. We also have been doing extensive research in preparation for commenting on the Department of Education's proposal to amend the Title IX regulations when that new rule is proposed.

We also analyzed the Restoring Artistic Protection Act (RAP Act H.R. 5831), the SLAPP Protection Act of 2022, (H.R. 8864) and legislation on combatingIslamophobia (S. 3384/ H.R. 5565) in anticipation of potentially engaging on those bills. FIRE has not yet engaged any congressional offices on any of those bills. Finally, FIRE discussed the Banned Book Resolution (H. Res. 1392) with a congressional office.

A vast majorityof FIRE's expenses incurred during the quarter are attributable to the staff hours that went into preparing FIRE's Comment to the Department of Education on its proposed regulations on the enforcement of Title IX, Docket No. ED-2021-OCR-0166, RIN 1870-AA16. FIRE's comment offered detailed objections to aspects of the proposalthat would violate free speech and due process rights.

FIRE participated in a roundtable on the issue of free speech on college campuses hosted by the Republican members of the House Education and Labor Committee. We also expressed concerns over provisions in the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization (S. 3623 later enacted in HR 2471) that would provide grants to institutions of higher education to use potentially biased trainings when training those on campus who are responsible for adjudicating Title IX claims. We were also concerned about the implications of the federal government adopting a definition of affirmative consent in the bill. FIRE also worked with Senate offices on potential legislation on campus free speech that has not yet been introduced. FIRE also met with OMB and Department of Education staff to share some of our general free speech and due process concerns with respect to the Department of Education's plan to amend the existing Title IX regulations. We also have been doing extensive research in preparation for commenting on the Department of Education's proposal to amend the Title IX regulations when that new rule is proposed.

FIRE had meetings with congressional offices in the House and Senate to discuss campus free speech and review draft language thathas not yet been introduced. These discussions also included the possibilitythat the issue would be addressed in any Higher Education Act Reauthorization that might be introduced in the future. FIRE reviewed congressional resolutions opposing book bans including HRes 1392 and SRes 838. We wrote publicly in support of aspects of each resolution. We also shared feedback on draft language for an additional resolution on banned books that has not yet been introduced. FIRE also participated in a Congressional Roundtable hosted by the Republican members of the House Education and Labor Committee on the topic of campus freespeech. We also communicated our opposition to theStudents Access to Freedom and Educational Rights (SAFER Act/S.5158) to Senate and House offices, explaining the free speech and due process problems with the legislation. FIRE also analyzed the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act (HR 9197), theChildren and Teens Online Privacy Protection Act (S. 1628), the Kids Online Safety Act (S. 3663), the Fair Access to Banking Act (S. 563/HR1729). We did not engage in any advocacy on those bills, but conducted research in anticipation of future advocacy on them. FIRE also engaged in grassroots lobbying by publishing a video on YouTube urging viewers to contact their member of Congress in support of theRestoring Artistic Protection Act of 2022 (HR 8531) which prohibits federal prosecutors from introducing an artist's rap lyrics againstthem as proof or wrongdoing in criminalprosecutions,subject to some exceptions.

As part of the Department of Education's June 7-11, public hearing on Title IX, FIRE provided verbal testimony and a written comment to provide our input on the Department's enforcement of Title IX. We emphasized the need to maintain robust due process protections and ensure that enforcement of Title IX was consistent with judicial precedents on fair procedures and free speech. We also met with the Office for Civil Rights to discuss the same. FIRE also met with members of Congress to discuss amendments FIRE would make to the the Campus Free Speech Restoration Act (H.R. 4007) to ensure that it tracks the judicial precedent and is a helpful tool for protecting free speech on college campuses. In meetings with staff for members of the House of Representatives, we shared our perspective on the direction would like the Department of Education to go, explaining our hope that the Department would maintain policies that protect campus free speech and due process. We also engaged Senate offices to share our concerns about Catherine Lhamon's nomination to return to the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights as the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, a position we think she should not be confirmed to unless she makes concrete commitments under oath to maintain the robust due process protections and the U.S. Supreme Court compliant definition of sexual harassment in the Title IX regulations. Finally, on the request of a Senate office, we reviewed draft language regarding a proposal to ensure that Court Orders signed electronically have security measures to ensure their authenticity. Ultimately, we concluded that proposal was outside the scope of FIRE's mission.
