Which got an A (or an F) on protecting Jewish students...

Dear John, we are at a crisis moment on campus...

Too many Jewish students are feeling unsafe, unwelcome and unprotected. Too many parents are justifiably worried about where their children can find a positive campus climate. Too many schools are failing their students. This is not because university administrations are unaware of these problems, but because too often, there is a lack of will to make things better.

Today, ADL is launching our first Campus Antisemitism Report Card to help students, parents, alumni and others assess the schools they are interested in and to advocate for improvements.

See Your School’s Report Card Grade
Antisemitism Report Card Scores for Colleges and Universities

The new Report Card evaluates 85 schools across the country and assigns each a grade from A to F on the state of antisemitism on campus and how they are responding to it. You will find it easy to use, sort and navigate so you can compare schools and see which schools are getting it right and which schools are not.

Two schools received an A, 17 schools received a B, 29 schools received a C, 24 schools received a D, and 13 schools received an F grade in this initial report card, but we want this information to inspire a “race to the top” so all schools get an A. This is not grade inflation. It’s the minimum that Jewish students, and every group on every campus, should expect and deserve.

Students deserve a learning environment free from antisemitism and hate, but this hasn’t been the experience, even before October 7. We want there to be a focus on supporting Jewish students — all schools should want to improve their policies and actions to get an A grade as we update the Report Card.

In the new Campus Antisemitism Report Card, you can compare up to three schools at a time and see how they did and where they need to improve. Please note that the 85 schools that were part of this initial rollout of the Report Card reflect rankings of top national and liberal arts schools, as well as schools with the highest proportion and number of Jewish students. You can read more about how schools were selected, and what the grading criteria were, on the Report Card website.

TAKE ACTION
