Summary

It amends section 18004 of the CARES Act, the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, to bar an institution from receiving funds if its endowment assets averaged more than $10,000,000,000 in monthly value in 2019, unless the institution documents that it spent at least 1000 percent of the funds to be awarded. An institution that received funds before enactment without that documentation must repay them to the Secretary.
