This legislation amends the Higher Education Act of 1965, requiring institutions of higher education to prohibit antisemitic conduct as a condition for participating in federal student aid programs under Title IV. Institutions must include a specific definition of antisemitism in all student and employee conduct documents, characterizing it as a perception of Jews expressed as hatred, with manifestations against individuals, their property, or Jewish community institutions. The bill mandates that these documents explicitly state antisemitic conduct is prohibited on campus. Furthermore, it requires institutions to outline severe consequences, including expulsion for students and termination for employees who engage in such conduct.
