Colleges need summer 'do-over' after raging protests left Jews on campus feeling unsafe: Brandeis student

A Jewish student at Brandeis University shares how colleges need a summer do-over to figure out how to combat antisemitism and protect free speech on college campuses.

"I think that people should try to imagine what it's like walking past this place every day that's supposed to be their home and feeling like there are people that just hate them for no reason, and the kind of mental toll that takes on you," he continued.

Anti-Israeli demonstrations have escalated at U.S. universities in response to the Israel-Hamas war, with many colleges, including Columbia University, seeing rallies paired with antisemitic incidents that have left some Jewish students feeling unsafe. But Brandeis University was one of two colleges to receive an A grade over its handling of antisemitism and for promoting a safe environment for Jewish students, according to the Anti-Defamation League's Campus Antisemitism Report Card published in April. 

"Brandeis showed from day one that they were going to value the founding values of the school, which was being a safe place for Jews," Goldberg-Kellman, who has many family members and friends living in Israel, said.
