Overview
This bill prohibits New Jersey colleges and universities from creating scholarship programs or student assistance programs that exclusively benefit students from countries or territories controlled by terrorist organizations. If a school violates this rule, they will lose access to state funding, revenue bonds, and other state-supported financial aid. The legislation was introduced in response to a recent situation at Rutgers University involving student demands related to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the potential acceptance of displaced Gazan students.
