The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill Wednesday that seeks to crack down on antisemitism on college campuses, The Hill reports. The chamber approved the legislation in a bipartisan vote of 320-91. The bill would require the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism when enforcing antidiscrimination laws. That group defines antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews” and that “rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism” can be directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
