Info Report on H.R.2446- Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act of 2025
Antisemitism in the United States has surged to historic levels, with college campuses experiencing the steepest rise in incidents, including harassment, vandalism, and exclusion targeting Jewish students. Civil rights law, particularly Title VI, provides a framework for protecting students, but universities have struggled to balance free expression with preventing hostile environments. The Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act (H.R. 2446) seeks to strengthen accountability by tying Title IV funding to institutional efforts to prevent and address antisemitism, using the IHRA definition as investigative guidance. While aiming to ensure safer campus climates, the legislation raises concerns about free speech, federal overreach, and inconsistent enforcement.
