Permits Secretary of Higher Education to appoint antisemitism monitor to any institution of higher education; requires institution to implement recommendations of antisemitism monitor.
This bill (A4853) authorizes New Jersey's Secretary of Higher Education to appoint an antisemitism monitor at any public or private institution of higher education in the state. The monitor must review campus policies on antisemitism, assess efforts to create a safe environment for Jewish students and staff, and establish an anonymous reporting system for incidents. Institutions are required to implement the monitor's recommendations and provide necessary support, with non-compliance potentially leading to reduced state funding or loss of student aid eligibility. The bill defines antisemitism using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 working definition.
