Latest action on H.R. 2555: Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 18 - 15.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects students in fraternities, sororities, private clubs, and other single-sex social groups. It also affects colleges that receive federal higher education money because they may need to change rules on recognition, recruitment, housing, scholarships, jobs, and discipline. Faculty would keep the right to study, write, and speak about these groups.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change how colleges handle fraternities, sororities, and private single-sex clubs. Students could face fewer school penalties for joining these groups. Schools could have less power to use housing, recognition, aid, jobs, or leadership rules to pressure groups over single-sex membership. The bill leaves some questions open about how these rules would fit with Title IX, the federal sex discrimination law in education, and with school or state policies.

Key provisions in H.R. 2555

• The bill adds a new student association rule to the Higher Education Act, the main federal law for college funding and student aid.
• The rule applies to colleges that receive money under that law. This includes schools that take part in Title IV federal student aid programs.
• Students could form social groups or try to join them. If accepted, they could join and take part, even if the group is single-sex or not recognized by the school.
• Schools could not make students give up these rights in order to be admitted or enroll.
• Schools could not punish a single-sex social group, its members, or people trying to join only because the group limits membership to one sex.
