NEGATIVE FINDINGS | UPDATES The following are additional updates and incident reports from schools featured in last year’s report following the October 7 attacks: SCHOOL: Harvard University Updates: The U.S. Department of Education opened an investigation into Harvard for allegations of antisemitism and islamophobia, making it the latest school to be under investigation for hate following the October 7 attacks. SCHOOL: University of Michigan Updates: The University of Michigan administration has done a good job in respond- ing to the October 7 attacks as well as recent incidents of antisemitism on campus. President Santa J. Ono has released two statements that condemn Hamas and show support for Israel, with the most recent offering support services and other resources for students during this difficult time. Unfortunately, its student body and faculty are out of control. Graduate students in the Math department posted a leaflet on an office door that blames Israel for the actions of Hamas, a graduate student compared Hamas firing rockets to a woman punching her rapist, and 508 professors at the school signed a complaint regarding the Presi- dentʼs public support for Israel. SCHOOL: Columbia University Updates: Columbia has taken an important step forward by suspending Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) as official student groups through the Fall 2023 semester. While we commend the school for taking the initiative to do this, especially since they received an “F” in last yearʼs report card, itʼs still not enough. Both clubs should be removed from campus entirely. Columbia is also one of several schools across the country that are currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education over allegations of antisemitism and islamophobia. SCHOOL: University of Southern California (USC) Updates: A post-doctoral student from USC was caught ripping down Israeli hostage posters on campus. 19
