These are the main policy points[1]

1.Equality in admissions- with certain exceptions, universities have to publish and commit to objective criteria for accepting new students.

2.Marketplace of ideas and civil discourse - a bit vague, but basically calling for non violent exchanges of opinions and ideas, specifically not discriminating against conservatives, who frankly are a significant minority at universities.

3.Nondiscrimination in faculty and administrative hiring

4.Institutional neutrality - frankly i'm not sure what that's supposed to mean

5.Student learning -Signatories must make certain “grade integrity” commitments, including neither “inflat[ing]” nor “deflat[ing]” grades for any “non-academic reason.”

6.Student equality -Signatories must treat students “as individuals and not on the basis of their immutable characteristics, with due exceptions for sex-based privacy, safety, and fairness”

7.Financial responsibility - a raft of ideas aimed at protecting students

8. More restrictions on foreign student admissions etc.

9.enforcement
