A new report from Columbia University’s antisemitism task force documents a hostile climate for Jewish and Israeli students at the New York City institution during the last school year.
Key Findings of the Report

- Jewish students reported feeling isolated and targeted during protests and demonstrations.
- There is a pressing need for colleges to address the rise of hostility related to the conflicts abroad.
Impact on Education and Community
