The Rejecting Racism in Postsecondary Education Act aims to prevent discrimination in South Carolina's postsecondary institutions.

The Rejecting Racism in Postsecondary Education Act prohibits South Carolina's postsecondary institutions from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin. It also bans institutions from compelling employees or students to express specific beliefs about race. Accrediting agencies are barred from basing decisions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Institutions violating the act are ineligible for state funding. The act allows for private lawsuits and enforcement by the Attorney General.
