What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "PROTECT Jewish Student and Faculty Act," proposes to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965. It would require institutions of higher education to include a prohibition of antisemitic conduct in all documents related to student or employee conduct. To participate in Title IV programs, schools must provide a specific definition of antisemitism. This definition includes perceptions of Jews expressed as hatred and manifestations directed at individuals or institutions. Additionally, the bill requires a statement that such conduct is prohibited on campus.
