Strongly condemning the rise of antisemitism on campuses of institutions of higher education across the United States.

HRES 1239 is a symbolic House resolution condemning the rise of antisemitism on U.S. college campuses and criticizing university administrators who enable such incidents. It specifically urges the Department of Education to enforce compliance with civil rights laws protecting students from discrimination based on national origin or religion, and calls for potential federal funding cuts against schools failing to address antisemitic harassment. The resolution directly affects campus administrators, student groups, and institutions receiving federal funds, but does not create new laws or penalties. It focuses on urging enforcement of existing civil rights protections under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
