US Jewry, Antisemitism

Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, UVA all get ADL failing grade on handling antisemitism

The ADL has issued a user-friendly "report card" to alert interested parties, including prospective students and their parents, regarding which American universities are making Jews feel safe on campus - and which fail to do so.

The ADL has released an online "report card" grading colleges and universities on how effectively they fight antisemitism against Jewish students and ensure a healthy Jewish campus life.

According to the preface to the card, the "ADL’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card is a tool for students, parents, alumni, college faculty, guidance counselors, admissions consultants and other stakeholders. Our goal is to serve students and their families looking for information about the current state of antisemitism on campus and how particular universities and colleges are responding."

The ADL did qualify that this is only an initial effort at quantifying antisemitism on colleges, saying that "this is Report Card version 1.0 and should be used in concert with other tools when making decisions about college."

Among those universities receiving an "F" are Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Tufts, Standford, and the University of Chicago.

Just two universities get an "A": Brandeis and Elon.

Amherst, Duke, University of Florida, and University of Texas, Austin all got a "B."
