Permits Secretary of Higher Education to appoint antisemitism monitor to any institution of higher education; requires institution to implement recommendations of antisemitism monitor.
This bill authorizes New Jersey's Secretary of Higher Education to appoint an antisemitism monitor at any state institution of higher education. The monitor reviews campus policies protecting Jewish students and staff, establishes anonymous reporting for antisemitism incidents, and issues quarterly reports with recommendations for improving safety and policy implementation. Institutions must adopt all monitor recommendations, and failure to comply could result in reduced state funding or loss of student financial aid eligibility. The monitor's salary is paid by the institution, and "antisemitism" is defined per the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 working definition.
