Preventing Antisemitic Harassment on Campus Act of 2025
This bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on religion, including antisemitism, in federally funded colleges and universities. It defines antisemitism broadly as hatred toward Jews or Jewish institutions and requires schools to address severe, pervasive harassment that undermines students' education. Schools found violating these rules face escalating fines (10% for a second violation, 33% for a third within 5 years) of federal funding for the affected program, plus mandatory notifications to students and staff. The law specifically applies to institutions receiving federal financial aid under the Higher Education Act, while exempting religious organizations from these provisions.
