S. 1182 would prohibit colleges and universities from authorizing, funding, or supporting events that promote antisemitism on their campuses. The bill defines antisemitism using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 working definition, which includes specific contemporary examples of antisemitic conduct and speech. Institutions that violate this requirement would lose eligibility to participate in federal student loan and grant programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, meaning their students could no longer receive federal financial aid. The legislation applies to all colleges and universities that accept federal student aid, affecting millions of students nationwide. By tying federal funding to campus speech policies, the bill aims to combat antisemitism on college campuses while using financial leverage as its enforcement mechanism.
