    I know we’re discussing the higher education budget, and while there’s lots of pontification, and what seems as though we just sat through, a lecture, an uninformed lecture, I believe that the Senator who just spoke has no experience, no formal education in diversity, equity, and inclusion. In fact, none of those remarks were actually germane to the amendment that we were discussing. So if that member, or any member of this chamber, has an honest assessment, an honest heart or an open mind to understanding the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our higher education institutions, or how it can manifest in spaces like this, I urge them to pick up a book. Attend a lecture at one of our institutions of higher learning, but at this moment, I ask for a “no” vote on this amendment, and really any amendments that are as ridiculous as what we just heard. Thank you. Senator Lindsey offered the following amendment: 1. Amend page 66, following line 7, by inserting: “ Sec. 275p. (1) Each university that receives an appropriation in section 236(2) must produce a report containing the following information: (a) An itemized list of funds received by the university from entities located outside the United States, including funds received for research. (b) A description of expenditures made, or expenditures that are planned to be made from funds described in subdivision (a). (c) A description of any research conducted or intended to be conducted using funds described in subdivision (a). (2) By March 15, 2025, each university must submit the report described in subsection (1) to the house and senate appropriations subcommittees on higher education, the house and senate fiscal agencies, and the state budget director.”.

    Throughout our country’s history, student protests from the Civil Rights Movement, to the war in Vietnam, to the South Africa Anti-Apartheid Movement, have changed our domestic foreign policy for the better. This moment in time is no different. History repeats itself, and in like every other social movement, attacking and misconstruing the message of student protestors by those in positions of privilege is a sad but time-honored tradition. If you followed the Civil Rights Movement at the time, MLK was seen as a controversial figure, and his tactics were sometimes unpopular. In fact, a 1961 Gallup poll found that 57 percent of Americans thought that sit-ins at the lunch counters hurt the chances of integration in the south. Right here in Michigan, in 1937, the Flint Sit-Down strikers were led by workers who occupied and demanded changes in their workplace. The 1965 march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, something that is brought to our attention every year, was technically trespassing. There are a lot of people who saw that as an act that was so confrontational at the time, but now those tactics we know forced a conversation that required our country to look itself in the mirror—to make ourselves better by questioning long-held assumptions about our society and our role in the world. And in retrospect, these movements have consistently been on the right side of history. The students protesting today come from all backgrounds and religions. They see the war in Gaza as a human-rights issue. They’re using their voices to call for a change in the U.S. policy, because over 40,000 innocent Palestinians—largely women and children—have been crushed under the rubble of bombed buildings, or shot in the street as they are seeking refuge. We have seen these images across social media: the starvation, the makeshift camps, the injuries, the destruction, the death, and the mass graves, which has only fueled students’ drive to seek an end to the occupation, war crimes, and genocide—just like they did in the past. The tactics of student protestors are working now. Just last night we saw an important shift in U.S. policy toward this conflict. I refuse to live in a state where we weaponize our budget to go after students who are peacefully protesting. These demonstrations are overwhelmingly focused on safeguarding human rights and dignity for all, no matter their race, religion, or nationality. Those are American values. I urge my colleagues to focus more of their attention on the tens of thousands of lives that have been lost rather than how students are exercising their First Amendment rights. Senator Theis offered the following amendment: 1. Amend page 66, following line 7, by inserting: “ Sec. 275r. (1) A student found to be in violation of the student code of conduct of the postsecondary education institution the student attends may not receive an award under a scholarship program receiving an appropriation under section 236(7), if the violation of the student code of conduct is determined to be a result of the student’s support of a terrorist organization. (2) By September 30, 2025, any postsecondary education institution that suspended or denied a scholarship award under subsection (1) must provide a report disclosing the number of students who had a scholarship suspended or denied under this section to the house and senate appropriations subcommittees on higher education, the house and senate fiscal agencies, and the state budget director. (3) As used in this section, “terrorist organization” means a foreign organization that is designated by the United States secretary of state in accordance with section 219 of the immigration and nationality act, 8 USC 1189, as amended. ”.

    Senator Albert withdrew the amendments. Senator Albert offered the following amendments: 1. Amend page 65, line 27, after “ 275n. ” by inserting “ (1) ”. 2. Amend page 65, line 29, by striking out the balance of the line through “ The ” on page 66, line 3 and inserting “ if ”. 3. Amend page 66, line 5, by striking out the balance of the section and inserting “ nondiscrimination. (2) As used in this section: (a) “Inclusion” means a core belief that each individual person has infinite dignity and must have equal opportunity based on challenges bested, skills built, and lessons learned. (b) “Nondiscrimination” means a principle that ensures each student is protected under the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution. (3) The legislature finds and declares that in the spirit of inclusivity, no student should have a scholarship award withheld because that student is enrolled in a program of study leading to a degree in theology, divinity, or religious education, and that all religions and creeds are welcome to be studied. It is the intent of the legislature to support and defend the American ideal of religious tolerance which has been a pillar of our democratic republic and an example of true freedom and liberty since the nation was founded. The legislature further intends that each student’s pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness through their chosen course of study be a benefit to all Michigan residents through the spread of faith, hope, and love. ”.
