Responding to the escalating anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses, Republican Senator JD Vance has proposed the Encampments or Endowments Act. This legislation would render universities ineligible for federal monetary assistance if they fail to promptly remove protest encampments like those erected during anti-Israel demonstrations. It aims to force colleges to protect students, shut down encampments, and comply with the law, with penalties including potential ineligibility for Title IV programs and a tax of up to 50% of endowment assets for non-compliance.
