Prohibiting Student Loan Forgiveness for Antisemites Act

HR 9102 would block student loan forgiveness or new loans for students convicted of hate crimes committed during protests that disrupt campus operations at colleges or universities. Specifically, it amends the Higher Education Act to deny eligibility for any federal student loan program or loan forgiveness if a student is convicted under federal or state law for a hate crime (as defined in 18 U.S.C. §249) related to protest activity. This directly affects students who face such convictions, removing their access to federal loan benefits. The bill targets conduct disrupting campus functions, not general hate crimes, and applies to all federal student loan programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
