PROTECT Jewish Student and Faculty Act
This bill requires colleges and universities receiving federal funding to include a specific definition of antisemitism in all campus conduct documents. The definition states antisemitism is a perception of Jews that may manifest as hatred, targeting both Jewish individuals/non-Jewish people and property, as well as Jewish community institutions. It mandates that institutions explicitly state antisemitic conduct is prohibited, with student offenders facing expulsion and employees facing termination. The law directly affects all institutions covered by the Higher Education Act, setting clear consequences for antisemitic behavior on campus.
