"ADL Report: Harvard and Top U.S. Universities Flunk Antisemitism Test"

A report by the Anti-Defamation League graded 85 top US universities on their efforts to combat antisemitism, with only Brandeis University and Elon University receiving an "A" grade. Thirteen elite schools, including Harvard and Princeton, were given an "F". The report documented 746 alleged antisemitic incidents at these campuses, with reports skyrocketing amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. The ADL praised Brandeis for revoking recognition of its Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, while also commending Elon University for promoting informed dialogue. Several Ivy League institutions, including Columbia and Cornell, received disappointing grades, with disturbing incidents of antisemitism reported on their campuses. The ADL called for serious changes in school leadership to support Jewish communities and address the historic levels of antisemitic incidents on campus.
