Our comment largely in support of the free speech provisions and provisions on the rights of religious student organizations can be read at: https://www.thefire.org/fire-comment-on-religion-ed-regulations-feb-18-2020/. FIRE also met and had telephone calls with Congressional offices to discuss free speech on campus, including FIRE's support for H.R. 1672, the Free Right to Expression in Education Act, a bill that would prohibit public institutions from restricting speech to certain outdoor areas of campuses, often misleadingly labeled as "free speech zones." We also discussed how colleges should be addressing anti-Semitism on college campuses without violating the First Amendment. During those conversations FIRE shared its concerns about the President's Executive Order on Combating Anti-Semitism. FIRE also wrote to the Department of Education and the Office for Management and Budget (OMB) to urge them to finalize the pending Title IX regulations. FIRE had a telephone call with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights urging it to finalize the Title IX regs. The substance of the proposed regulations was not discussed. We did discuss an open OCR Title VI investigation into Georgia Tech, and advised OCR that we would be submitting a letter that FIRE sent to the institution about the facts underlying the complaint to the OCR for its consideration during the investigation. FIRE also reviewed drafts of HR 6379 (the CARES Act) dealing with COVID-19 relief for its implications on nonprofits and others who engage in constitutionally protected federal lobbying. We communicated our concerns to Congressional offices. | Education, Dept of,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Office of Management & Budget (OMB),SENATE | 10000 | 0 | 0 | 2020-04-17T16:34:16.680000-04:00 |
