If a college loses federal funding eligibility because it was found to have supported antisemitic events, all students at that school — not just those involved — could lose access to federal loans and grants. This creates a powerful but blunt enforcement tool: Jewish students may benefit from a safer campus environment, while other students could face financial disruption if their school runs afoul of the law.
