Two Republicans in the House of Representatives introduced a bill that would make federal accreditation for American universities contingent on following rules to stop anti-Israel encampments.
The bill, introduced by Reps. Elise Stefanik and Jim Banks, titled the “No Tax Dollars for College Encampments Act,” puts tax dollars on the line for colleges and universities if they don’t respond properly to encampments on campus.
U.S. institutions of higher education must be federally accredited in order to receive funding from the government.
According to a press release, the bull would require colleges to disclose their plans for civil disturbances, improve safety through better coordination between campus and local law enforcement, and link federal funding to policy implementation and reporting.
