UC Comment Letters

UC Office of the President

UC Comments on Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Direct Grant Programs, State-Administered Formula Grant Programs, Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program, and Strengthening Institutions Program (Docket ID ED-2019-OPE-0080)

Abstract

This comment letter responds to the Department of Education’s proposed rule conditioning certain federal funding on public universities’ compliance with First Amendment requirements and their treatment of religious student organizations. UC argues that the rule could unfairly jeopardize federal funding based on unrelated litigation, increase legal and administrative burdens, and conflict with Supreme Court precedent and institutional and state nondiscrimination requirements.
