Anti-Semitism Awareness Act of 2019 This bill concerns the review by the Department of Education (ED) of certain alleged violations of title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. For alleged violations based on an individual's actual or perceived shared Jewish ancestry or Jewish ethnic characteristics, ED must consider the definition of anti-Semitism as part of its assessment of whether a practice was motivated by anti-Semitic intent. For purposes of this bill, the definition of anti-Semitism includes the definition set forth by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance on May 26, 2016.

Most of FIRE's lobbying during this period was the writing and submission of our formal comment to the Department of Education on the pending Title IX regulations. FIRE advocated for student free speech and due process in the regulations and our comment is publicly available on our website. We later filed a supplemental comment to the department to respond to other comments that were filed in the process. Again, we advocated for student free speech and due process. On February 11, 2019, FIRE sent a letter to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo urging the State Department to avoid warrantless surveillance of Chinese nationals studying at U.S. Colleges. That letter is available on our website. FIRE had conversations with congressional offices regarding our concerns about the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (S. 852), which we oppose on free speech grounds. FIRE also spoke with congressional offices about the President's Executive Order on Campus Free Speech. Finally, FIRE had conversations with congressional offices about our support for The Free Right to Expression in Education Act (H.R. 1672) which would prohibit public colleges and universities from restricting student expression to misleadingly labelled "free speech" zones.
