## Summary

**Anchors federal education civil-rights enforcement to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.** The bill would direct the Department of Education to consider IHRA examples when assessing whether harassment or discrimination in K-12 and higher education was motivated by antisemitic intent. - Jewish students and campus communities: Would make IHRA's contemporary examples a formal consideration in Title VI reviews, shaping investigations of harassment and discrimination in schools and colleges. - Schools and colleges: Complaints that target Jews as a group would be evaluated with IHRA examples in mind, which changes how some incidents are classified and reviewed. - Department of Education and legal limits: Would require DOE to consider IHRA but also bars using the law to expand DOE authority or to reduce First Amendment protections.
