# HB1087 Summary This bill requires South Dakota's public universities and the state university system to adopt policies protecting free speech and intellectual diversity on campus, including limiting "cancel culture" practices against students and faculty. The institutions must establish procedures for handling complaints about free speech violations and ensure that ideological viewpoint diversity is considered in hiring and curriculum decisions. These new requirements aim to prevent universities from suppressing unpopular opinions while maintaining academic standards.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
