According to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Education Department can withhold funding from any educational institution that discriminates “on the ground of race, color, or national origin." However, religious discrimination is not covered.
With this Executive Order, the Trump Administration is seeking legal grounds to withhold federal funding from colleges that allow protests against Israel's policies/treatment of Palestinians and against the U.S.'s support of them.
Once 'Jewish' is legally declared a nationality, Trump and company will claim that the student protests (called the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement) constitute "discrimination based on national origin", a civil rights violation.
