Antisemitism on college campuses targeted by new legislation | National
SUMMARY: A bipartisan bill, the Protecting Students on Campus Act, has been reintroduced by Senators Bill Cassidy and John Fetterman to protect Jewish students from harassment on college campuses. It would require universities to communicate civil rights complaint procedures, report the number of complaints received, and disclose actions taken. The bill comes in response to rising antisemitism, with reports showing 25% of Jewish students feeling unsafe on campus in 2023. Endorsed by the AJC and ADL, the bill seeks to improve transparency, hold universities accountable, and provide a safer learning environment for students, especially following the October 7 Hamas attack.
