PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Sunshine in Academic Admissions
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Citizens and taxpayers have a right to know whether
federally funded institutions of higher education are treating
student applications differently depending on the student's
race, color, or national origin, and, if so, the way in which
these factors are weighted and the consequences to students and
prospective students of these decisions.
(2) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 codified this
right, forbidding in statute discrimination on the basis of
race, color, or national origin by federally funded
institutions, which includes nearly all colleges and
universities.
(3) This prohibition has largely been ignored by the
Supreme Court, which has allowed racially discriminatory
admissions.
(4) However, in Fisher v. University of Texas, the United
States Supreme Court in 2013 affirmed that strict scrutiny
should be applied to university admissions programs to ensure
diversity is not defined as ''mere racial balancing,'' but has
a compelling state interest to achieve diversity. The Fisher
case clarified that any such discrimination is only permitted
if it is necessary to achieve the educational benefits of a
racially diverse student body.
(5) Therefore, colleges and universities must reevaluate
their use of racially selective admissions policies. The costs
of such policies cannot outweigh the supposed benefits. If a
less discriminatory means could achieve similar results, the
discrimination is not permissible.
(6) In order to ensure that these limitations are followed,
colleges and federally funded institutions of higher education
must make public through annual reports their use of race,
color, and national origin, for admissions decisions so that
Federal and State enforcement agencies and interested persons
can monitor the schools.
(7) Additionally, college and universities must provide
evidence sufficient to demonstrate that any such discrimination
does not exceed the limits imposed by the Fisher case.
(8) Academic ''mismatch'' refers to a significant
discrepancy in academic qualifications between various groups
within a student body, and is encouraged when universities
lower their academic standards to artificially achieve a
particular composition.
(9) Mismatch works a harm because it sets particular
students up for lower than average achievement, higher dropout
rates, less competitive majors and, perhaps most damaging, a
disproportionately large student loan burden.

SEC. 3. REPORT ON CONSIDERATION OF RACE, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN IN
STUDENT ADMISSIONS.

(a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, each institution of
higher education participating in programs under title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 shall submit to the Secretary of Education a
report in accordance with this section.
(b) Contents of Report.--
(1) Disclosure of consideration of race, color, or national
origin in student admissions.--The report shall include a
statement indicating whether race, color, or national origin is
given weight in the student admissions process of the
institution or any department of the institution.
(2) Additional disclosures.--If the disclosure under
paragraph (1) states that race, color, or national origin is
given weight in the student admissions process of an
institution or department, then the report shall include the
following information with respect to the institution or
department:
(A) The racial, color, and national origin groups
for which membership is considered a plus factor or a
minus factor and, in addition, how membership in a
group is determined for individual students.
(B) A description of how group membership is
considered, including the weight given to such
consideration and whether targets, goals, or quotas are
used.
(C) A statement explaining why group membership is
given weight, including the determination of the
desired level claimed and, with respect to the
diversity rationale, its relationship to the particular
educational mission of the institution or department.
(D) A description of the consideration that has
been given to racially neutral or less discriminatory
alternatives as a means for achieving the same goals
for which group membership is considered.
(E) A description of how frequently the need to
give weight to group membership is reassessed and how
that reassessment is conducted.
(F) An identification of the factors other than
race, color, or national origin that are collected in
the admissions process. If the factors described in the
preceding sentence include grades or class rank in high
school, scores on standardized tests (including the ACT
and SAT), legacy status, sex, State residency, economic
status, or other quantifiable criteria, then all raw
admissions data for applicants regarding these factors,
along with each individual applicant's race, color, and
national origin and the admissions decision made by the
school regarding that applicant, shall accompany the
report in computer-readable form, with the name of the
individual student redacted but with appropriate links,
so that it is possible for the Secretary of Education
or other interested persons to determine through
statistical analysis the weight being given to race,
color, and national origin, relative to other factors.
(G) An analysis, and also the underlying data
needed to perform an analysis, of whether there is a
correlation--
(i) between membership in a group favored
on account of race, color, or national origin
and the likelihood of enrollment in a
remediation program, relative to membership in
other groups;
(ii) between such membership and graduation
rates, relative to membership in other groups;
and
(iii) between such membership and the
likelihood of defaulting on education loans,
relative to membership in other groups.
(c) Public Availability.--The institution shall make the report
publicly available.

SEC. 4. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

Nothing in this Act shall be construed to allow or permit
preference or discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national
origin.

SEC. 5. DEFINITION.

In this Act, the term ''institution of higher education'' has the
meaning given the term in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002), except that the term does not include an
institution of higher education outside the United States.

SOLUTION: Sunshine in Academic Admissions Act This bill requires each institution of higher education that participates in a program under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to submit an annual report to the Department of Education that states whether the institution gives weight to race, color, or national origin in the admissions process and, if yes, provides certain additional disclosures. The institution must make the report publicly available.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ''Mississippi Valley
National Historical Park Act of 1999''.
(b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents of this Act is as
follows:

Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.
Sec. 2. Findings.
Sec. 3. Mississippi Valley National Historical Park, Blytheville,
Arkansas.
Sec. 4. Transfer of jurisdiction, Eaker Air Force Base, for historical
park.
Sec. 5. Acquisition of Chickasawba Mound for inclusion in historical
park.
Sec. 6. Administration of historical park.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The central and lower Mississippi Valley region
contained the highest population levels and the most complex
Native American societies north of Mexico before the arrival of
European peoples in the 16th century.
(2) In addition, the Mississippi Valley has also hosted
Spanish, French, English, and ultimately American societies at
different times in the last 450 years.
(3) Blytheville, Arkansas, is centrally located in the
Mississippi Valley region.
(4) Former Eaker Air Force Base, which is located outside
of Blytheville, Arkansas, in the central Mississippi Valley
region, is the site of 14 archaeological sites associated with
Native Americans.
(5) Because of its value in illustrating and interpreting
the heritage of the United States, the largest of these
archaeological sites, was recognized by the National Park
Service as a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
(6) Another archaeological site outside of Blytheville,
Arkansas, the Chickasawba Mound, was placed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic and
archaeological resources.
(7) These previous actions by the Department of the
Interior recognize that these archaeological sites are likely
to benefit, educate, and inspire present and future generations
of Americans, but no unified heritage park for the central
Mississippi Valley region exists within the National Park
Service.
(8) Blytheville, Arkansas, also possesses many other
regionally and nationally significant natural, seismic,
cultural, and recreational resources associated with the
heritage of the central Mississippi Valley region.
(9) The sites and resources associated with the heritage of
the central Mississippi Valley region require recognition
through the establishment of a national historical park for the
central Mississippi Valley region as a unit of the National
Park System.
(10) As a result of the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in
Blytheville, Arkansas, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990, Federal land and facilities are
readily available for the establishment of a national
historical park for the central Mississippi Valley region to
protect the archaeological sites located on the former military
installation, as well as to preserve, maintain, and interpret
the natural, seismic, cultural, and recreational heritage of
the central Mississippi Valley region for the benefit,
education, and inspiration of present and future generations of
Americans.
