Findings

Congress finds the following: (1) Antisemitism is a uniquely rampant problem in the United States, including in educational institutions. According to the most recent Federal Bureau of Investigation data, more than two-thirds of all religiously motivated hate crimes targeted Jews. According to 2025 data, nearly half of young American Jews say they were the personal target of antisemitism in the last year. Forty-two percent of American Jewish college students report experiencing antisemitism during their time on campus. One in 4 American Jewish college students has felt or actually been excluded from a campus group or event because they are Jewish. (2) A report issued by the Committee on Education and Workforce of the House of Representatives on October 31, 2024, titled Antisemitism on College Campuses Exposed documents evidence of systemic failures by many universities to enforce their own policies equitably and impose discipline in response to pervasive antisemitism that violates university rules and title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.). (3) The October 31, 2024, report found that many educational institutions have exhibited double standards with respect to addressing discrimination motivated by antisemitism. (4) A subsequent report issued by the Committee on Education and Workforce on March 17, 2026, demonstrated that failed university leadership, faculty members legitimizing and amplifying antisemitism on campuses, and student groups driving antisemitic hostility continue to make Jewish students subject to harassment and discrimination.
