A whopping 39% of Jewish college students have had to hide their identities on campus while 62% said they have been directly blamed for Israel\u2019s military action in Gaza, according to a new report obtained by The Post. <\/p>\n

The civil-rights group StopAntisemitism issued its 2025 \u201creport cards\u201d grading how 90 colleges addressed the spreading hatred against Jews on campuses<\/a>, with 14 schools flunking the exam \u2014 including two New York City universities. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis report exposes a disturbing and undeniable reality. Antisemitism on American college campuses is systemic and tolerated, and in many cases enabled by the very institutions tasked with protecting our American kids,\u201d StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez said in a statement.<\/p>\n

With antisemitism on the rise across the globe following the Oct. 7, 2023 Israel terrorist attack, students at 90 colleges in the US have reported feeling unsafe on their campuses, according to StopAntisemitism\u2019s student survey.<\/p>\n

About 58% of respondents said they have personally experienced antisemitism on campus, with only 12% claiming that the reported incidents were \u201cproperly addressed.\u201d <\/p>\n

Another 65% described feeling unwelcome in specific campus spaces as anti-Israel protests run amok, with 58% agreeing that their schools had failed to protect them.<\/p>\n

Both Columbia University<\/a> and The New School \u2014 which saw massive anti-Israeli protests break out since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack \u2014 received an F-grade for allowing this culture of \u201cpervasive antisemitism\u201d to run rampant.<\/p>\n

Jewish students at the school felt administrators did not do their job to curb antisemitism, with many feeling that they were being directly blamed for Israel\u2019s actions. X\/LishiBaker<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Columbia University, Jewish students have faced repeated antisemitic incidents including vandalism, hate filled emails, and disruptions glorifying extremist violence,\u201d the report said. <\/p>\n

\u201cFederal investigators found the university showed \u2018deliberate indifference toward these issues and threatened to halt hundreds of millions in funding,\u201d it added, slamming The New School for similar allegations.<\/p>\n

Several other Ivy League schools also received failing grades, including Brown University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale.<\/p>\n

While Harvard vowed to tackle antisemitism in 2025 amid a public battle with the Trump administration over federal grants, StopAntisemitism found that \u201cdespite the new initiatives, the campus climate remains tense and accountability uncertain.\u201d <\/p>\n

The report claimed the case was the same for the other failing Ivy Leagues, slamming their campuses \u201cunsafe for Jewish students.\u201d <\/p>\n

Other prestigious schools that failed include MIT, Northwestern University and UC Berkeley. All together, 14 out of the 90 schools received a failing grade from StopAntisemistim. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe schools that received Fs in the report have become ground zero for antisemitism in American higher education,\u201d Rez said. \u201cThese institutions pride themselves on being moral and intellectually elite, yet they repeatedly fail to protect Jewish students from harassment, intimidation, hostility, and real violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only 15 schools received an A in the report, including Baylor, Clemson, Elon and Colorado State University.<\/p>\n

Cornell University, which received an F-grading last year<\/a>, was bumped up to C, with StopAntisemitism noting that the administration has worked to address some of the concerns from Jewish students about safety on campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cCornell students reported multiple antisemitic incidents, raising concerns about safety and campus climate. The administration addressed them and affirmed its commitment to inclusivity, though some students felt support and enforcement were inconsistent,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Vassar College, located in upstate Poughkeepsie, also saw an improvement going from a D-rating last year all the way to a B in 2025\u00a0for its works to \u201cenhance student safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York University, which was home to several anti-Israeli protests, also received a C-grading, with students still asking the school to do more to tackle antisemitism.<\/p>\n

Overall, only 62% of students surveyed said they would recommend their schools to fellow Jews. <\/p>\n

StopAntisemitism\u2019s annual report was put together by documenting the volume of antisemitic incidents that occurred at American colleges in 2025, with a survey launched at the schools to get first hand accounts from Jewish students. <\/p>\n

StopAntisemitism ultimately called on all schools in the US to follow in the footsteps of the A-rated universities in condemning hate against Jewish students and forming a transparent and standard investigation policy against acts of hate. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile much of the attention has rightly focused on failures, this report also highlights campuses that understand what real leadership looks like,\u201d Rez said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese schools don\u2019t wait for national headlines or external pressures to act, they set clear standards, enforce them consistently and fairly, and make it known that antisemitism is not tolerated on their campus,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A whopping 39% of Jewish college students have had to hide their identities on campus while 62% said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3862,1692,19817,33596,9,11,10,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-64103","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-antisemitism","9":"tag-colleges-and-universities","10":"tag-columbia-university","11":"tag-ivy-league","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-headlines","14":"tag-new-york-news","15":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
