What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act," seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. It aims to prohibit institutions of higher education from participating in student loan and grant programs under title IV if they authorize antisemitic events on campus. The bill defines antisemitism using the working definition adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance on May 26, 2016. This measure targets institutions that authorize, facilitate, provide funding for, or otherwise support such events.
