Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act

Bill 118 s 3078, also known as the Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of addressing and combating anti-Semitism on college campuses. The bill seeks to ensure that Jewish students are protected from discrimination, harassment, and intimidation based on their religion or ethnicity.

The Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act defines anti-Semitism as a certain perception of Jews, which may include hatred, violence, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on their Jewish identity. The bill acknowledges that anti-Semitism has been on the rise in recent years, particularly on college campuses, and aims to address this issue by requiring institutions of higher education to take specific actions to combat anti-Semitism.

Some of the key provisions of the bill include requiring colleges and universities to adopt a definition of anti-Semitism that includes examples of anti-Semitic behavior, such as denying the Holocaust, using derogatory language about Jewish people, or holding Jews collectively responsible for the actions of the state of Israel. The bill also requires institutions to take steps to address incidents of anti-Semitism on campus, including providing training for faculty and staff on how to recognize and respond to anti-Semitic behavior. Overall, the Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act is a bipartisan effort to address the growing problem of anti-Semitism on college campuses and ensure that Jewish students are able to learn and thrive in a safe and inclusive environment.
