Taxation
What it does
The bill would fine colleges and universities that lose a federal court case for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Each fine would be at least 100,000 dollars, or for schools that file annual tax returns, 5 percent of what they paid their top officers that year, whichever is more; a reversed ruling would get the fine refunded. Starting with a school's third violation after enactment, the IRS must review whether it qualifies for tax-exempt status.
