Condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff.
What changed between versions
The original operative clause (2) urged the Secretary of Education to direct the Office for Civil Rights to investigate and take action immediately. This was removed and replaced with a call on campus administrators to condemn antisemitism and ensure Jewish students can exercise free speech rights without intimidation, plus a new clause urging enforcement of existing federal civil rights laws. This shifts the mechanism from a specific federal agency directive to a broader exhortation.
The specific directive to the Secretary of Education to direct OCR to investigate and take action immediately was removed entirely.
The title and subject now explicitly include condemning antisemitism on college campuses and supporting the right of Jewish students to exercise First Amendment rights, broadening the resolution beyond just condemning support for terrorist organizations.
Five new 'Whereas' clauses cite specific incidents: Students for Justice in Palestine calling for armed confrontation (Oct 9), a Stanford lecturer targeting Jewish students in class (Oct 10), a Cornell professor calling Hamas' attack exhilarating (Oct 15), Brandeis student government voting down a condemnation of Hamas (Oct 22), and George Washington University students projecting Glory to our Martyrs signs (Oct 24).
