A resolution condemning antisemitism at institutions of higher education in the United States and encouraging college and university leaders, administrators, and faculty to speak out against antisemitism.
This resolution (SRES 437) condemns antisemitism on U.S. college campuses following heightened incidents after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, directly affecting Jewish students, faculty, and staff who face fear and intimidation. It urges university leaders - including presidents, deans, and administrators - to publicly oppose speech that incites violence against people based on religion, national origin, or ancestry. The resolution encourages schools to collaborate with Jewish student groups and ensure Jewish members can study and work without fear. As a non-binding Senate resolution, it expresses official condemnation and recommends actions for institutions, not new legal requirements.
