ADL Faces Backlash Over Campus Antisemitism Report Card
The Anti-Defamation League's new grading system for campus antisemitism is met with criticism from Jewish student groups and university leaders.
- The ADL's Campus Antisemitism Report Card assigned letter grades to 85 colleges, sparking controversy among students and faculty.
- Only two institutions, Brandeis and Elon, received an 'A' grade, while prominent universities like Harvard and Stanford were given 'F's.
- Critics, including Hillel International and individual campus leaders, argue that the grades oversimplify complex campus dynamics.
- Several universities have contacted the ADL seeking guidance on improving their grades, indicating a willingness to address the issues raised.
- The grading system, intended as a progress report, may undergo changes based on feedback and further assessments.
