A majority of Jewish college
students feel less safe because
of anti-Israel protests and
encampments at their
school, and report the use of
antisemitic, threatening or
derogatory language toward
Jewish students during those
protests.
As commencements began
on campuses across the
country, a majority of Jewish
students were concerned that
protests and encampments
would disrupt graduation
ceremonies, with nearly
three-in-four saying they
want schools to remove the
encampments and/or protests
to eliminate the possibility of
disruption.
Jewish students also say
that campus protests and
encampments have had a
detrimental impact on their
ability to learn, study and
even attend class. Six in 10
Jewish students (58%) say
the encampments have made
it more difficult for them to
learn, study or concentrate.
And more than half (51%)
have had their classes canceled,
interrupted, moved to Zoom or
been blocked from attending.
Hillel International has
tracked nearly 1,600 incidents
of campus antisemitism since
Oct. 7 alone, including assaults,
vandalism and hate speech,
with more than 400 of those
incidents targeting individual
students.
In just a single week, a
Hillel-led petition demanding
that university administrators
do more to support their
students and safeguard
commencement ceremonies
has garnered nearly 30,000
signatures.
“Jewish students, and all
students, deserve to pursue
their education and celebrate
their graduations free from
disruption, antisemitism and
hate,” said Adam Lehman,
president and CEO of Hillel
International.
“Our findings demonstrate
that a majority of Jewish
students surveyed have
experienced bias and
discrimination in their
classroom and academic
experiences based on faculty
and staff abusing their
authority in support of the
rule-breaking and unlawful
anti-Israel encampments
and protests. University
leaders are legally required
to address these hostile and
discriminatory conditions,
and we will continue to insist
that they do so for the benefit
of Jewish students and all
students.”
