This resolution calls on campus administrators to do the following: condemn all forms of antisemitism on college campuses; ensure Jewish faculty, students, and guests can exercise the same free speech rights as are guaranteed to all other faculty, students, and guests without intimidation; ensure that no speaker is prevented from speaking on campus because of their Jewish heritage; ensure Jewish students have the same opportunities as all other students on campus; and ensure the security and safety of their Jewish students. The resolution also supports the right of Americans to freely exercise their religious and cultural beliefs while pursuing higher education.
This resolution calls on college administrators to condemn antisemitism on campus, protect Jewish students' and speakers' free speech rights without intimidation, ensure equal opportunities for Jewish students, and guarantee their security and safety. It affirms the right of all Americans to freely practice their religious and cultural beliefs while in college.
Non-binding resolutions like this signal congressional sentiment on campus speech and Jewish student protections, but lack enforcement power. The framing around 'free speech rights' and prevention of speaker disinvitation can become flashpoints if paired with efforts to define antisemitism broadly—particularly if using the IHRA definition, which treats certain Israel criticisms as antisemitic speech that administrators should restrict.
