Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2026
Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Summary
The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act requires higher‑education institutions to certify each year that they will not engage in a non‑expressive commercial boycott of Israel, a U.S. strategic partner. Schools that fail to certify—or that are found to be boycotting—lose eligibility for Title IV and Title VI federal aid. The bill also mandates public posting of non‑compliant schools and requires reciprocal academic freedom for students and faculty between U.S. schools and Israeli institutions.
