Summary

Requires: (1) the Director of the National Institute of Justice to study the extent to which minors participate in illegal sports gambling activities; and (2) the Attorney General to establish a panel to study illegal college sports gambling.

Requires each institution of higher education to: (1) designate one or more full-time senior officers of the institution to coordinate the implementation of a comprehensive program to reduce illegal gambling and gambling control disorders by students and employees; (2) annually prepare and submit to the Secretary of Education a report concerning progress made; (3) make reasonable further progress as a condition of remaining eligible for assistance under the Higher Education Act of 1965; and (4) submit statistics and other information on illegal gambling and a policy statement regarding underage and other illegal gambling activity at the institution.
