AI Summary: This is a policy document: an Executive Order (EO 14188) addressing measures to combat anti-Semitism, particularly in educational settings. This regulation directs federal agencies to take comprehensive actions against anti-Semitic harassment and violence, especially in response to campus incidents following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. The order requires agency heads to submit reports within 60 days identifying legal authorities to combat anti-Semitism, including an inventory of pending civil rights complaints against higher education institutions. Specific agencies like the Attorney General, Secretary of Education, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Homeland Security are tasked with analyzing existing complaints, exploring civil rights enforcement options, and developing recommendations for monitoring and potentially removing foreign students or staff involved in anti-Semitic activities. The order reaffirms a previous 2019 executive order (EO 13899) and emphasizes the government's commitment to protecting Jewish students from discrimination, harassment, and violence. While the order provides detailed instructions for agencies, it explicitly states that it does not create legally enforceable rights and must be implemented consistent with existing laws and available appropriations.
