Overview
- StopAntisemitism’s assessment of 90 campuses, based on student surveys and incident data, found 39% of Jewish students hid their identity, 62% were blamed for Israel’s actions, 58% experienced antisemitism, and only 12% saw schools properly address reports.
- Fourteen institutions received failing grades, including Harvard, Yale, Brown, Penn, MIT, Columbia, The New School, Northwestern, and UC Berkeley, with the report citing pervasive harassment and administrative indifference.
- Results varied across campuses, with 15 schools earning A grades such as Baylor, Clemson, Elon, and Colorado State, while Cornell improved from an F to a C and Vassar rose from a D to a B; Dartmouth earned a B, the highest among Ivy League schools.
- Harvard faced a June determination from the Department of Health and Human Services that it violated Title VI by failing to stop discrimination and threats against Jewish and Israeli students, with potential funding losses flagged unless reforms proceed.
- Columbia reached a July settlement with the Trump administration requiring $200 million to the federal government and $20 million to Jewish employees, lifting funding freezes and mandating compliance steps including changes to DEI and merit-based policies.
