Sen. Scott Introduces Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act

Life & Work
Students at affected schools could face major disruptions if their college loses access to federal financial aid. If a school is found to have authorized an antisemitic event, all students at that institution could lose access to Pell Grants, federal student loans, and other Title IV programs, even students who had nothing to do with the event. On the other hand, Jewish students who have faced antisemitic harassment on campus could benefit from stronger protections.
“prohibit institutions of higher education that authorize antisemitic events on campus from participating in the student loan and grant programs under title IV of such Act”
