This bill aims to prevent institutions of higher education that authorize antisemitic events from accessing federal student financial assistance. It proposes an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965, specifically targeting participation in student loan and grant programs under Title IV. The core provision mandates that institutions will not authorize, facilitate, provide funding for, or otherwise support any event promoting antisemitism on campus. For clarity, the bill explicitly adopts the working definition of antisemitism established by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) on May 26, 2016, including its contemporary examples.
