ADL/AEN Survey Finds Faculty Driving Campus Antisemitism

The groups urge university leaders to act after Jewish professors report hiding their identity.

Overview

  • Seventy-three percent of 209 Jewish-identifying faculty said they observed antisemitic activities or statements by faculty, administrators, or staff.
  • Forty-four percent reported an on-campus Faculty for Justice in Palestine chapter, with most of those citing anti-Israel programming, protests, and divestment endorsements.
  • Half of respondents said anti-Zionist faculty have created de facto boycotts of Israel, including departments avoiding co-sponsorships and undermining partnerships with Israeli institutions.
  • Thirty-eight percent said they felt a need to conceal their Jewish and/or Zionist identity, with some describing doxxing, harassment, and professional isolation.
  • Majorities called institutional responses unhelpful, and ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt and AEN’s Miriam Elman pressed administrators for meaningful action.
