US colleges are making substantial progress on campus antisemitism, but work remains, ADL says

The Anti-Defamation League released an updated report card Monday on how US colleges combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students.
The Anti-Defamation League released an updated report card Monday assessing how US colleges combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students. The report, which uses a grading system of A to F, evaluated 135 schools — an increase from 85 schools in the first report. The first ADL campus report card was released in April 2024 in response to rising antisemitism on college campuses after the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023. In the latest report card, 46% of the schools evaluated in the last academic year improved, while only 9% declined — a positive sign for combating antisemitism on campuses, the civil rights advocacy group said. In total, 36% of schools received an A or B grade, up from 23.5% the year before. Just under 10% of schools received an F, which was slightly below the percentage that received an F in the last report. “While many campuses have improved in ways that are encouraging and commendable, Jewish students still do not feel safe or included on too many campuses,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the ADL, said in a statement. Threats to Jewish people in the United States tripled in the one year after the October 7 terrorist attack, the ADL previously found, and incidents of antisemitism have surged in the country and around the globe — an alarming trend largely led by younger people. The ADL’s report card uses a 30-point grading system to evaluate colleges and universities on criteria including policies toward addressing antisemitism, the prevalence of antisemitic incidents on campus, and the climate of inclusion and support for Jewish students, faculty and staff.
