Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit institutions of higher education that authorize antisemitic events on campus from participating in the student loan and grant programs under title IV of such Act.

AI Summary

This bill, called the "Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act," seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 by adding a new requirement for colleges and universities that participate in federal student loan and grant programs. Specifically, the bill prohibits institutions of higher education from authorizing, facilitating, providing funding for, or supporting any events that promote antisemitism on campus. The bill adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism from May 26, 2016, which includes contemporary examples of antisemitic behavior. If a college or university is found to be in violation of this provision, they could potentially lose their eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. This legislation aims to combat antisemitism in higher education by creating a financial incentive for colleges to prevent and discourage antisemitic events and rhetoric on their campuses.
