NYC Colleges Fail Jewish Students: A Chilling Report
A new report reveals a shocking level of antisemitism at US colleges, with two NYC schools receiving failing grades.
Key Findings:
- 72% of Jewish college students feel unwelcome on campus.
- 52% have experienced antisemitism.
- 67% feel their university didn't adequately protect them after the Hamas attacks.
- 43% hide their Jewish identity out of fear.
- 87% of those who reported antisemitism believe their school failed to properly investigate.
Failing Grades:
The report, issued by StopAntisemitism, gave failing grades to Cornell University and The New School in NYC, along with several other universities. These schools were cited for various incidents including:
- Cornell University: Antisemitic death threats, a professor expressing “exhilaration” at the Hamas attacks, and an 18-day anti-Israel encampment.
- The New School: An anti-Israel protest that took over a campus building.

StopAntisemitism’s Response:
The organization noted a 3,000% increase in antisemitic reports since the October 2023 Hamas attacks and criticized universities for failing to create safe environments for Jewish students.
Other Findings:
The report also highlighted that a significant number of students hide their Jewish identity and would not recommend their schools to other Jewish students.
