Protect Jewish Students on Campus
Antisemitism on college campuses has risen sharply in recent years, leaving many Jewish students feeling unsafe and unsupported. A 2023 bipartisan Senate HELP Committee roundtable highlighted the urgent need for stronger institutional accountability, and a subsequent bipartisan federal report from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights called for a more transparent and robust response to campus antisemitism.
The Protecting Students on Campus Act addresses these concerns directly. The bill requires universities that participate in federal student aid programs to adopt a standard definition of antisemitism, establish clear and accessible pathways for students to report incidents of antisemitic harassment and discrimination, and increase transparency in how civil rights complaints are handled under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. It has been reintroduced in both the House and Senate with bipartisan support in the 119th Congress (2025–2026).
Constituents are urging their Members of Congress to cosponsor and advance the Protecting Students on Campus Act to ensure that Jewish students — and all students — are protected from discrimination and can pursue their education free from hate and harassment.
