Student's Rights Law (Amendment No. 10) (Prohibition of Incitement to Terrorism and Illegal Activity in the Framework of Organized Public Student Activity) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק זכויות הסטודנט (תיקון מס' 10) (איסור הסתה לטרור ופעילות בלתי חוקית במסגרת פעילות ציבורית מאורגנת של סטודנטים)

TL;DRA proposal to amend the Student Rights Law to require institutions of higher education to set public activity bylaws that will prohibit incitement to terror and identification with terrorist organizations.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill changes the Student Rights Law in several ways: it defines the terms "student cell" and "public activity bylaws," refines the student's right to take part in organized public activity, and requires every institution of higher education to set public activity bylaws. The bylaws will include provisions and conditions for holding public activity on the institution's premises, an obligation to prohibit activity that is prohibited by law, and in particular a prohibition on identification with a terrorist organization and incitement to terror as defined in the Counter-Terrorism Law. Violating the provisions of the bylaws will constitute a disciplinary offense.
