ADL to Issue Annual 'Report Cards' on Universities' Handling of Antisemitism
The initiative comes in response to a surge in antisemitic incidents on campuses, with the first report expected to aid 2024 college decisions.
- The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has announced a new initiative to develop annual 'report cards' for universities, evaluating their handling of antisemitism on campus.
- The report cards will be published every spring and will include data from student surveys, reports of incidents, and input from campus experts and partners.
- The initiative comes in response to a significant increase in antisemitic incidents on campuses, particularly following the Israel-Hamas war that began on October 7.
- The ADL will send a letter to universities with significant Jewish populations, requesting information on their efforts to combat antisemitism.
- The first report card is expected to be released in time to assist 2024 freshman college students and their parents in making informed decisions about college commitments.
