What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Veterans in Campus Safety Act," aims to create a grant program for colleges and universities. These grants would allow institutions of higher education to hire veterans to serve as campus security personnel. The Secretary of Education is responsible for awarding these grants on a competitive basis. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that prohibits the use of Federal funds for Equity Assistance Centers. This restriction applies to centers described in title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations or any similar center.
