New bipartisan legislation in the US would prohibit colleges and universities from receiving federal student aid if they engage in commercial boycotts dictated by the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The bill, H.R. 10257 or the Protect Economic Freedom Act, makes those institutions ineligible for funding under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. The Protect Economic Freedom Act would require colleges and universities to certify that the institution is not engaging in a non-expressive commercial boycott of Israel, otherwise the institution will forgo its ability to receive federal student aid.
