,,ii #aaith ,,congress #ast ,session ,s4 #cdcc ,,in ,,the ,,senate ,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states ,december #aa1 #bjbe,mr4 ,banks introduced the following bill2 which was read twice and referred to the ,committee on ,health1 ,education1 ,labor1 and ,pensions ,a ,,bill ,to eliminate certain higher education funding to certain minority-serving institutions1 and for other purposes4 #a4 ,short title ,this ,act may be cited as the ,promoting ,equal ,learning and ,liberty ,act or the ,,pell ,act4 #b4 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,the ,united ,states of ,america was founded on the truth that all men are created equal4 ,to secure this promise1 the ,equal ,protection ,clause of the #adth ,amendment guarantees to every person within the jurisdiction of a ,state--regardless of race or color--the equal protection of its laws4 ,the ,fifth ,amendment extends that same principle with respect to the ,federal ,government4 7#b7 ,the ,supreme ,court affirmed in ,students for ,fair ,admissions v4 ,president and ,fellows of ,harvard ,college1 #fjj ,u4,s4 #aha 7#bjbc71 that colleges and universities violate the guarantee of equal protection when they engage in race-based admissions policies1 including by maintaining racial quotas or preferences for admission4 ,the ,court further held that universities could not use facially neutral tools to admit students based on race4 7#c7 ,the ruling in ,students for ,fair ,admissions v4 ,president and ,fellows of ,harvard ,college reaffirmed a core constitutional prohibition against racial quotas and preferences4 7#d7 ,despite the clarity of the ,constitution1 ,congress has for decades funded a series of grant programs qualifying institutions of higher education based on the certified racial or ethnic balance of their student bodies4 ,these ,minority-,serving ,institution programs include over #cej1jjj1jjj in grant money4 7#e7 ,these grant programs1 many of which are not open to ,historically ,black ,colleges and ,universities or ,tribal ,colleges and ,universities1 intentionally treat colleges and universities differently based on the racial demographics of their students4 ,such programs condition hundreds of millions in ,federal funding on the maintenance of racial quotas4 7#f7 ,the ,minority-,serving ,institution grant programs violate the ,fifth ,amendment to the ,constitution of the ,united ,states by classifying and awarding money to institutions based on the race or ethnicity of their students4 7#g7 ,in addition1 the ,minority-,serving ,institution programs provide a financial incentive for colleges and universities to discriminate on the basis of race in admissions4 7#h7 ,decades of ,supreme ,court precedents have held that the spending power of ,congress1 although broad1 is not unlimited1 and that it would exceed the constitutional authority of ,congress for ,federal funding to induce invidious discrimination4 7#i7 ,as constituted1 these grant programs exceed the spending power of ,congress because they induce invidious discrimination4 7#aj7 ,the ,minority-,serving ,institution programs also play a part in the immigration crisis in the ,united ,states4 ,the largest ,minority-,serving ,institution programs are the ,hispanic-,serving ,institution programs4 ,those programs rely on purely ethnic categories without regard to whether the qualifying enrolled students are citizens of the ,united ,states4 ,as greater numbers of aliens have been waved across the southern border1 the programs induce colleges and universities to discriminate against citizens of the ,united ,states4 ,a large and complex bureaucracy has arisen to support illegal aliens at ,minority-,serving ,institutions4 7#aa7 ,race and ethnicity are arbitrary proxies for need4 7#ab7 ,minority-,serving ,institution programs siphon resources from constitutionally sound programs that help people in the ,united ,states who are in need4 ,one-third of undergraduate students in the ,united ,states receive funding through the ,federal ,pell ,grant program established in title ,,iv of the ,higher ,education ,act of #aife 7#bj ,u4,s4,c4 #ajgj et seq474 ,the ,pell ,grant program makes college financially possible for students in the ,united ,states of all races and ethnicities4 ,yet colleges that enroll large numbers of ,pell recipients are ineligible for hundreds of millions in ,federal funding unless they maintain the appropriate racial balance4 ,meanwhile1 rampant inflation in the cost of postsecondary education has diminished the impact of the grants available to needy students in the ,united ,states4 7#ac7 ,increasing the funding available for the ,federal ,pell ,grant program under title ,,iv of the ,higher ,education ,act of #aife 7#bj ,u4,s4,c4 #ajgj et seq47 and the total maximum ,federal ,pell ,grant award will constitutionally increase the educational opportunities available to all needy people in the ,united ,states regardless of race or ethnicity1
