(JNS) Nearly all Jewish college students and alumni who participated in a recent survey by Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF) said antisemitism is a problem on college campuses, with three-fourths describing it as a “very serious” issue.
Among the 312 enrolled students and 194 alumni from different Jewish affiliations who took part in the survey, 95 % said antisemitism was a problem on their current or former campus.
“These findings illuminate the troubling reality on U.S. campuses—antisemitism is increasingly a pernicious threat, with Jewish students under siege,” said ACF executive director Avi D. Gordon. “Administrators must take immediate steps to remedy this situation, and alumni should work with administrators, students and allies alike to rid their alma maters of hate.”
