Harvard, top universities fail on ADL's antisemitism report card

The Anti-Defamation League said its report card comes at what has been seen as a very volatile time on college campuses.

In a new survey of 85 colleges by the Anti-Defamation League, some of the most recognizable academic institutions, including Harvard, were seen as not doing enough to prevent antisemitism on their campuses. 

The colleges represented campuses with some of the highest Jewish student populations in top schools, the ADL said. 

In the latest findings, institutions, including Harvard — along with at least 12 other schools — received an F grade, with just two schools receiving an A. 

The ADL said letter grades will help students, guidance councilors and parents better understand how these schools are performing. 

The ADL said just because a school has an A or B grade doesn't mean antisemitism doesn't exist on its campus.
