It was approved unanimously on Tuesday, one day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27.

The student government at the University of Georgia has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism.

The resolution was approved unanimously on Tuesday, one day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27.

The IHRA definition says: “Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

The resolution also called on the university as a whole to adopt the definition.
