HB2759 is a bill that aims to prevent institutions of higher education in Arizona from formally recognizing any student organization that supports or promotes foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), particularly those that call for genocide against the Jewish people. The bill requires institutions to enforce their codes of conduct, investigate potential violations related to supporting FTOs, and rescind recognition of any student organization found in violation. Faculty advisors of student organizations are also required to report any such violations, and they face disciplinary action if they knowingly fail to do so.

The bill defines key terms such as "antisemitism," "foreign terrorist organization," and "institution of higher education," which includes universities under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Board of Regents and community colleges as defined in section 15-1401. The bill's provisions are designed to ensure that student organizations that engage in activities supporting terrorism or demonstrating prejudice based on antisemitism are not endorsed or supported by educational institutions in the state.
