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.”
