Columbia Act-aka antisemitism monitors- law proposed
Posted on 4/27/24 at 1:45 pm

quote:
New York Congressman Ritchie Torres introduced a bipartisan bill on Friday that would impose third-party antisemitism monitors on US colleges and universities that accept federal funding.
The South Bronx Democrat Torres introduced the COLUMBIA Act, co-sponsored by Rockland County Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, as anti-Israel protesters have harassed and intimidated Jewish students and faculty at the Morningside Heights campus for more than a week.
The College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act would permit the US Department of Education to appoint an outside observer to crack down on Jew hatred at any college or university that gets taxpayer money.

Of course anti-white rhetoric allowed.
This is just another lever for speech control.

Just fire the people letting it happen.

Yeah, this will never get expanded to crack down on all sorts of speech and activities that the Dept of Education considers “hate”.

Don't like any of it. I think there is a lot of ginned up hysteria over these protests. How much are Jewish students really being harassed? Can you legitimately protest about our foreign policy and Israel's actions? The anti-semitic hate label seems like a quick, cheap way to discredit protest. That said, I'm not going to cry for these protestors if they get jerked around because similar tactics are used against the right.

Israel cucks are happy with this, can’t have Zionists getting their feelings hurt with mean words.

Is it not the role of the federal government to protect specified classifications of individuals from discrimination as well as the threats of physical harm that sometimes accompanies it?

They will just take bribes to stop the reporting like they did regarding the foreign funding.

after being alerted to the fact that billions of dollars in funding (to US Universities) from authoritarian governments, including several in the Middle East, was going largely unreported, the DoE established an online portal where universities were required to post donations, the names of donors, what the donation was for, and the dates of the projects.
quote:
NCRI’s analysts are unable to say why these changes have occurred. Analyst No 1 said that they’ve heard that colleges were not happy about donor information being presented and that they put pressure on the DoE to not disclose donor names.
quote:
NCRI found even more anomalies in the DoE’s October 2023 report. According to Analyst No 2: “the information for 19 colleges that reported in April 2023 is gone. They weren’t huge amounts, but they totaled US$74 million, and now they’re not shown at all.
The information was there. So, this happened in the very latest report”.
Much larger amounts concern funding provided by Qatar which, according to NCRI, was not the US$1.2 billion previously reported but, in fact, was US$2.2 billion. However, in the latest DoE report, US$2.0 billion of Qatari donations to colleges in Education city Doha, similarly mysteriously vanished.

“The new money we were talking about before, the US$22 billion, is in that lump sum. It’s not really traceable. We don’t know where it’s coming from. There are no donor names and all we have is the donor country.
quote:
The amount of historical information scrubbed from the portal, NCRI’s IR states, is more than 52,000 donor names and 4,100 dates of receipt, with no new dates added for receipts under contracts since the report dated 23 September 2020.
quote:
“They [the DoE] just stopped reporting them,” said NCRI analyst No 2. “I know they had them. We have them because we downloaded the information for our work. They stopped reporting them

I find it interesting that the line in the sand is Jewish students being harassed and not any students being harassed.
Hell, shite like this is SOP on west coast campuses. Doesn’t really happen in the Deep South despite stereotypes.

I assume this means nobody can question Israel ever again

I'm confused... everyone here was cheering on Stefanik when she went after all the numbnut ivy League presidents in that congressional hearing.
What was the point of that hearing if there weren't going to be ramifications for federally funded colleges for not protecting the Jewish students? A lot of the pro Palestine protest isn't antisemitic (it's just sjw college idiots with their cause du jour), but there have been plenty of circumstances of harassment and hate speech.

israel owns most of our politicians at the federal level, and many at state levels, like Greg Abott.
Conservatives need to stop having a blind spot about them.
You're either pro First Amendment or you're not.

THere are already laws for that.

Disgusting.
Colleges had no issue sniffing out the most ridiculous things as racist (like asking someone where they're from).
More laws won't fix broken administrations and student bodies.

It just so happens that at the present time it’s the Jew folks who are under the most direct threat from very active protests targeting them, oftentimes personally merely trying to go to class, due to flashpoint international events.

Yes
It’s an impressive show of power.
We can tell you what to say, and you don’t fall in line, we will put you in prison.
They did the same thing with the investment laws at the state level. Barring companies from boycotting Israel. They saw what happened with South Africa, and they want to avoid it.
On the other hand, overt displays of force like this are a sign of weakness. They feel threatened and they’re over reacting.
