Enacts the "degree integrity and accountability act"; provides for mandatory degree revocation if convicted of: a violent felony offense; a terrorism offense; engaged in acts that constitute material support for terrorist organizations, including advocacy, incitement, or financial aid; participated in or led organized efforts to disrupt educational institutions through unlawful occupation, destruction of property, or threats of violence; or found guilty of severe misconduct by a university disciplinary board, including academic fraud, falsification of credentials pursuant or any act that would have prevented graduation had it been known at the time; establishes the degree revocation registry for creating an online database listing students whose degrees have been revoked for employers, academic institutions and government agencies.

The bill, known as the 'Degree Integrity and Accountability Act', mandates the revocation of college degrees for individuals convicted of serious crimes, such as violent felonies and terrorism offenses. It also applies to those found guilty of severe misconduct by a university, including academic fraud. Additionally, the bill proposes the creation of an online registry to list revoked degrees for employers and educational institutions.

Supporters of the bill argue that it upholds the integrity of academic credentials by ensuring that those who commit serious crimes or engage in fraudulent behavior cannot benefit from their degrees. They believe this measure will promote accountability within educational institutions and protect the value of degrees for honest students.

Critics of the bill contend that it could lead to overly harsh penalties for individuals who may have made mistakes or been unjustly accused. They argue that the creation of a degree revocation registry could stigmatize individuals and hinder their future opportunities, impacting their ability to reintegrate into society.
