Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act

This proposed legislation, known as the "Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act," aims to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. Its core purpose is to prohibit institutions of higher education from participating in federal student loan and grant programs under Title IV if they authorize, facilitate, provide funding for, or otherwise support any event promoting antisemitism on campus. This measure seeks to ensure that federal financial aid is not provided to institutions that condone or enable such events. The bill would add a new condition to Section 487(a) of the Higher Education Act, requiring institutions to certify their compliance with this prohibition. Crucially, the legislation explicitly adopts the working definition of antisemitism established by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) on May 26, 2016, including its contemporary examples. This precise definition is intended to provide clear guidelines for institutions regarding prohibited conduct.
