The bill adds new reporting requirements regarding incidents of antisemitism for institutions of higher education under the Higher Education Act of 1965.

  • 20 U.S.C. 1092(f)(1)

    (iv) of each incident of antisemitism reported to campus security authorities or local police agencies.

    This mandates institutions to report incidents of antisemitism to the Secretary of Education.

  • 20 U.S.C. 1092(f)(6)(A)

    (vi) The term `antisemitism'-- (I) means a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews; and (II) includes rhetorical and physical manifestations of such perceptions that are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals or their property, toward Jewish community institutions, or toward Jewish religious facilities.

    This defines antisemitism for the purposes of the reporting requirements.

  • 20 U.S.C. 1092(f)

    (19) Each institution described in paragraph (1) shall report the incidents of antisemitism described in clause (iv) of paragraph (1)(F) to the Secretary, and include in such report the response of, and the remedy undertaken by, such institution with respect to such incidents.

    This requires institutions to detail their responses to reported antisemitism incidents in their reports to the Secretary.
