Bill Summary
RESOLUTION Condemning antisemitism at institutions of higher education in the United States and encouraging college and university leaders, administrators, and faculty to speak out against antisemitism.
AI Summary
This Resolution strongly condemns antisemitism, which is prejudice, discrimination, or hatred directed against Jewish people, at colleges and universities across the United States, particularly in light of a rise in such incidents following the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. It encourages leaders, administrators, and faculty at these institutions to publicly denounce speech that promotes violence or hatred based on religious beliefs, national origin, or ancestry, even while upholding freedom of speech. The Resolution also urges higher education institutions to work with Jewish student groups to ensure Jewish students, faculty, and staff can learn and work without fear, acknowledging that while freedom of speech is a core principle, it does not protect speech that incites violence or discrimination.
