Antisemitism on U.S. College & University Campuses: 2025 Report

ANTISEMITISM ON U.S. COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES 2025 REPORT

In the year since StopAntisemitismʼs last Campus Antisemitism Report, the situation has intensified and metastasized into a coordinated and well-funded nationwide campaign targeting Jewish students. More than 140 campuses saw orchestrated protest actions, many supported by outside organizations with clear political agendas, synchronized messaging, and unified demands. These demonstrations have nothing to do with “free speech,” they are about actions: encampments, mob intimidation, property damage, and violence, resulting in hundreds of arrests across the country. The incidents documented in this report reveal the true nature of the crisis: • At Amherst College, a Jewish senior reported that Jewish and Israeli students were selectively targeted and punished under the schoolʼs conduct system, while anti-Israel activists disrupted campus life without consequence. • At Arizona State University, antisemitic propaganda glorifying terrorists was circulated openly, creating a threatening environment for Jewish students and faculty. • At Columbia University, a "Martyrs Day" celebration on Veterans Day was hosted in which participants praised terror and mourned the deaths of Hassan Nasrallah and Yahya Sinwar, former leaders of the terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas. • At UCLA, students reported being followed, screamed at, or physically blocked by activists who demanded they denounce Israel or hide their Jewish identity. These actions were not spontaneous, they were conceived, planned, and executed by a nationalized infrastructure of professional activists and operators, timed for media impact, and designed to leverage sympathetic campus administrators and overwhelm ethical ones. Jewish students report that the combination of encampments, targeted harassment, and university inaction has created an environment defined by fear, isolation, and institutional neglect. INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION CONTINUED According to the 2025 survey conducted by StopAntisemitism: • 58% of Jewish students reported personally experiencing antisemitism on campus. • Only 12% of reported incidents were properly addressed. • 39% hid their Jewish identity, and 65% felt unwelcome in specific campus spaces. • 62% were directly blamed for Israelʼs actions. • 58% said their schools failed to protect Jewish students after October 7. • Only 39% felt Jews were included in DEI initiatives. These findings confirm the harsh reality that Jewish students are being marginalized in institutions that claim to champion diversity and inclusion but instead amplify division and exclusion. Their safety and dignity are treated as negotiable and often dismissed entirely. This yearʼs report draws on hundreds of incidents from 90 colleges and universities identified by StopAntisemitism. The findings reveal that the majority of U.S. campuses are failing through weak policies, uneven enforcement, or even outright complicity. Even since the recent Gaza ceasefire agreement, antisemitism remains loud, bold, and unchecked, revealing that none of this is about Israel but instead it is about Jew-hatred, plain and simple. Coordinated protests, ideological harassment, and institutional apathy continue to endanger Jewish students. Families must confront the facts: Are you prepared to send tuition dollars to a school that allows your children to be threatened, targeted, and blamed simply for being Jewish?

StopAntisemitismʼs 2025 Campus Antisemitism Report evaluated 90 colleges and universities selected for their scale, national relevance, incident volume, and student reported vulnerability. The list includes large public institutions, elite private universities, regional colleges, and campuses with significant Jewish populations. Schools were chosen based on high rates of antisemitic activity, ongoing federal Title VI investigations, substantial Jewish enrollment, and broad public influence. These criteria that allow for consistent year-to-year comparisons and a representative national overview. A nationwide survey gathered firsthand accounts from Jewish students enrolled at these schools, capturing both quantitative indicators and optional qualitative descriptions. Students reported whether they experienced antisemitism, hid their identity, felt unwelcome, believed their school protected them post–October 7, or saw Jews included in DEI efforts. The results revealed widespread fear, marginalization, and dissatisfaction with institutional protections; for example, 58% experienced antisemitism, 39% hid their identity, and only 12% felt incidents were properly investigated. Aggregated responses helped reveal national patterns and informed campus-specific evaluations. StopAntisemitism also evaluated administrative responses to the school surveys through public statements, policy updates, disciplinary records, cooperation with federal inquiries, engagement with Jewish groups, and evidence of transparent reporting systems. Student feedback on the quality of investigations—88% dissatisfied—was cross-referenced with documented actions such as suspensions, expulsions, and task-force creation. Administrations were evaluated for consistency, speed, effectiveness, and adherence to civil-rights obligations. Finally, the report tracked and verified hundreds of incidents across the 90 campuses, including harassment, vandalism, threats, encampments, faculty misconduct, and administrative failures. These were sourced from student submissions, media reports, police logs, federal findings, social media, and campus organizations, with every incident confirmed through at least one public or institutional source. Patterns of repeat or severe misconduct received additional weight. Each schoolʼs grade reflected incident volume and severity, administrative response quality, student-reported safety, presence of federal investigations, and evidence of accountability or neglect, providing a comprehensive and multi-layered assessment.

RECOMMENDATIONS StopAntisemitism 2025 Recommendations for Universities Based on the 2025 StopAntisemitism Campus Report results, several key recommendations emerge for universities, drawn from the highest-graded campuses and the most concerning ones. These recommendations aim to help institutions proactively protect Jewish students and foster truly inclusive environments. 1. Swift and Transparent Incident Response: Top-performing universities (A-grade schools like Baylor, Clemson, and Colby) demonstrate that immediate condemnation of antisemitic acts and transparent investigation procedures are critical. Schools should ensure all reports of harassment, vandalism, or antisemitic rhetoric are addressed promptly, with clear communication to the student body about actions taken and outcomes. Transparency builds trust and reassures students that their safety and concerns are taken seriously. 2. Consistent Policy Enforcement and Accountability: Many C- and D-grade campuses reveal that inconsistent enforcement of policies allows antisemitism to persist. Universities must implement clear, standardized protocols for handling antisemitic behavior, including consequences for students, faculty, or staff who engage in harassment or discrimination. Regular audits and oversight committees can help maintain accountability and prevent lapses in enforcement. 3. Strengthen Jewish Student Support and Engagement: A-grade universities actively engage with Jewish organizations, ensuring students feel connected and supported. Programs like study abroad partnerships in Israel, Jewish cultural events, and educational initiatives on antisemitism reinforce inclusion. Schools should expand funding, advisory boards, and mentorship opportunities for Jewish students to cultivate a sense of community and resilience.

4. Proactive Education and Cultural Competence: Education programs on antisemitism, Zionism, and Jewish history—similar to initiatives at WashU and Clemson—equip students and staff to recognize and confront bias. Universities should provide mandatory training for faculty, resident advisors, and student leaders to prevent microaggressions, harassment, and the normalization of extremist rhetoric. 5. Collaboration with Federal and External Organizations: Campuses under federal investigation (e.g., UW–Madison, Yale, UC Davis) highlight the need for proactive collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education and advocacy organizations. Establishing formal partnerships and seeking guidance on compliance ensures universities remain ahead of legal and civil rights requirements while safeguarding students. 6. Monitoring and Transparency: Regular, publicly available reporting on antisemitic incidents—modeled by institutions like Colorado State University and Elon University—provides accountability and allows students to track progress. Universities should maintain dashboards or annual reports summarizing incidents, actions taken, and ongoing initiatives to improve campus climate. RECOMMENDATIONS CONTINUED

CONCLUSION The 2025 findings prove that antisemitism on campus is systemic, not episodic. It is embedded in the culture, policies, and power structures of higher education. Jewish students who report harassment are routinely dismissed, ignored, or retraumatized. Administrators hide behind “process,” either because they too are afraid or, worse, because they are complicit. Faculty validate and amplify extremist rhetoric, some even teaching it in class. And DEI offices, the very departments tasked with protecting minority students, often serve as engines of anti-Jewish hostility. A small number of universities made commendable efforts adopting IHRA, condemning terrorism, or expanding support for Jewish students. But these institutions are the exception, not the rule. The majority of campuses remain silent, inconsistent, or actively hostile to Jewish concerns. Investigations into antisemitism are mishandled or abandoned, reinforcing the message that Jewish students stand alone. This yearʼs data makes clear that DEI has become a primary vehicle for antisemitism in American academia. Instead of fostering inclusion, DEI offices have: • Normalized antisemitism under the banner of activism • Excused harassment as “political speech” • Excluded Jews from protections offered to other minorities • Indoctrinated students with ideological frameworks that demonize Israel and, by extension, Jewish identity, and empowered movements that openly call for the dismantling of the worldʼs only Jewish state

The solution is not reform, DEI has failed too fully, too structurally, and too consistently, and must therefore be completely dismantled. Its ideological rigidity, selective morality, and entrenched double standards have helped fuel the worst wave of campus antisemitism in modern American history. Worse still, academiaʼs refusal to confront this hatred threatens its own survival. Universities are meant to be beacons of reason, institutions committed to intellectual freedom and the pursuit of understanding. Instead, by allowing, endorsing, and institutionalizing anti-Jewish hatred, universities are poisoning their own foundations. The erosion of the bedrock principles of education does not just harm Jewish students, it threatens the very viability of higher education itself. If universities do not confront and uproot the systems that enable antisemitism, they will continue to fail their Jewish students–indeed all their students–and they will continue to betray their very reason for existing. Jewish students want to be proud of their schools, not afraid of them. If they want to survive, universities should take heed. The time for decisive action is not approaching. It is long overdue.

ABOUT US StopAntisemitism is a grassroots watchdog organization dedicated to exposing groups and individuals that espouse incitement towards the Jewish people and State and engage in antisemitic behaviors. Founded in 2018, StopAntisemitism was born in response to increasing antisemitic violence and sentiment across the United States. StopAntisemitism has developed a commanding following, reaching nearly half a billion individuals monthly through social media, mailers, and its website. By publicly exposing antisemites, StopAntisemitism has created an environment where those who propagate hatred against the Jewish people are met with real world consequences including but not limited to being arrested, job loss, school expulsions, and awards revoked. @StopAntisemites @Stop_Antisemitism StopAntisemitism StopAntisemitismorg StopAntisemitism.org info@stopantisemitism.org INFO
