Colleges that use federal student aid would have to put an antisemitism ban in their conduct rules. They would also have to warn that students may be expelled and employees may be fired.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
PROTECT Jewish Student and Faculty Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Latest action on H.R. 406: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects colleges that rely on federal student aid, because they would have to update and enforce their conduct rules. It also affects Jewish students and faculty, who are the bill’s main focus. Other students, employees, and campus leaders could also be affected by how schools define and punish antisemitic conduct.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would make antisemitism rules part of a school’s path to federal student aid. Colleges would need clear written rules, not just broad promises against hate or harassment. That could push schools to respond more directly to antisemitic conduct. It could also create hard calls about speech, discipline, and fair process.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
