"Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act"; prohibits distribution of State aid to an institution of higher education that authorizes, funds, or supports antisemitic events or organizations or fails to punish acts of antisemitism on campus.
This bill prohibits New Jersey state aid to public colleges and universities that authorize, fund, or support antisemitic events or organizations; fail to enforce campus conduct policies against harassment, intimidation, or bullying; or fail to appropriately punish perpetrators of antisemitism (including through expulsion or criminal referral). It directly affects all institutions of higher education receiving state funding in New Jersey. The law defines "antisemitism" using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 working definition and ties funding to compliance with these requirements. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
