Antisemitism on college and university campuses has rapidly escalated into a national crisis, with at least 1,200 incidents being recorded by ADL from October 7, 2023, to September 24, 2024.
ADL collaborated with Hillel International and College Pulse to survey over 2,000 college students in the U.S., both Jewish and non-Jewish. The findings, outlined in Campus Antisemitism One Year After the Hamas Terrorist Attacks, highlights the normalization of antisemitic rhetoric and incidents on campuses and underscore the urgent need to protect Jewish students on campus and foster an inclusive and safe educational environment for all.
83% of U.S. Jewish college students surveyed have experienced or witnessed some form of antisemitism since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.
