AN ACT prohibiting the use of state aid by colleges and universities for
  certain academic institutions

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that it is
beneficial to students of this state to have access to an education that
is not bound by borders and to have the opportunity to obtain  a  global
education.  The  legislature further finds that it is important that New
York State undertake efforts to ensure that its students  succeed  in  a
world  that  is continually becoming more interdependent and diverse and
further that students have  access  to  international  higher  education
institutions.    A global education allows students to connect, compete,
and cooperate with their peers around the world.  Therefore  it  is  the
policy  of  the  State  of New York that colleges not use state funds to
support boycotts of countries, or higher education institutions  located
in  countries,  that host higher education institutions chartered by the
Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.
  S 2. 1. For purposes of this section the following shall apply:
  (a) the term "academic entity" shall mean any organization  comprising
colleges,  universities or professors that promotes or supports academia
in the United States and abroad.
  (b) the term "college" shall have the same meaning  as  such  term  is
defined in subdivision 2 of section 2 of the education law.
  (c)  the  term  "host  country" shall mean those countries that host a
higher education institution chartered by the Board of  Regents  of  the
University of the State of New York.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
