What was being voted on

119-HR-4795 — Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2026

This bill seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. It prohibits institutions of higher education that participate in nonexpressive commercial boycotts of a major strategic partner from being eligible for certain funds. Additionally, it requires institutions participating in Title VI programs to submit an annual certification. This certification must ensure that students and faculty can participate in academic programs in a major strategic partner under the same terms as other foreign countries.
