Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023

This bill directs the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism when enforcing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act in federal education programs. It clarifies that discrimination against Jewish individuals based on actual or perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics may violate Title VI protections, requiring agencies to consider antisemitism intent during investigations. The law affects schools and universities receiving federal funds by guiding how they handle discrimination complaints related to antisemitism. It does not create new legal standards or expand the Department of Education's authority, as explicitly stated in the bill.
