Summary

The commission adopted planning documents for two 2026 projects — a statutory enforcement report on federal response to antisemitism on college campuses and a briefing on juvenile justice mental health — in an 8–0 roll-call vote.

Chair Rochelle Garza moved to adopt planning documents (research plan, outline and timeline) for two 2026 items: a statutory enforcement report on the federal response to the rise in antisemitism on American college and university campuses, and a briefing report on mental health in the juvenile justice system. Vice Chair Victoria Nurse seconded the motion.

Commissioner Jones and Commissioner Kirsanau both commented in support of the antisemitism investigation, describing it as timely and meriting a deep dive; Jones described bipartisan collaboration and plans to work with the Departments of Education and Justice and with a set of universities selected for focused review.

The commission proceeded to a roll-call vote and adopted the planning documents unanimously: the chair recorded eight votes in favor, none opposed and no abstentions. Chair Garza said she looked forward to moving the investigations forward and to future recommendations based on findings.

The commission did not yet set final publication dates beyond the planning timelines included in the adopted research plans.
