ADL Report Highlights Persistent Antisemitism Issues on US College Campuses
The Anti-Defamation League's latest report card reveals progress at some universities but underscores ongoing challenges in combating antisemitism and ensuring safety for Jewish students.
- The ADL evaluated 135 colleges in its latest report, finding that 46% improved their grades from the previous year, while 9% saw declines.
- Only eight schools received an A grade, with institutions like Brandeis University and Queens College recognized for strong efforts to combat antisemitism.
- Columbia University, Barnard College, and The New School received poor grades due to incidents of antisemitism and insufficient administrative responses to protests and vandalism.
- The report noted that universities implementing clear policies, mandatory antisemitism education, and improved bias reporting systems showed the most improvement.
- Federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the Justice Department, have launched investigations and initiatives to address rising antisemitism on campuses nationwide.
