Stay informed and take action against antisemitism and hate on campus.
Welcome to the second issue of the Campus Crisis Update.
This email features firsthand accounts from campuses, photos and videos direct from the protests, links so you can make your voice heard and resources so you know what to do if your alma mater comes calling for a donation or a student you know is being harassed.
Top Stories
UCLA. Throughout Wednesday and into the evening, protesters swarmed into UCLA’s encampment. After repeated orders to disperse,
[link removed]
LAPD and other law enforcement entered it to arrest protesters in the early morning hours local time. According to the
[link removed]
Daily Bruin, as this was unfolding, “‘around 1,000 protesters on and around Janss Steps chanted, ‘You don’t scare us,’ ‘We’re not leaving’ and ‘LAPD, KKK, IDF, you’re all the same.’” This situation is still developing.
Northwestern. In response to President Schill’s terrible capitulation to protesters including allowing the encampment to stay and reopening a pathway to BDS, seven members of the President’s Advisory Committee on Preventing Antisemitism and Hate
[link removed]
resigned last night. The members who resigned included an undergraduate student, the NU Hillel Director, a University trustee, and four professors.
ADL is joining with StandWithUs and the Brandeis Center

ADL reassessed Northwestern’s grade on its
[link removed]
Campus Antisemitism Report Card and because of these new developments it changed from a D to an F.
Dartmouth. Early this morning, Hanover police
[link removed]
announced they had arrested 90 people overnight for criminal trespass and resisting arrest.
Yale. Tuesday, New Haven police
[link removed]
took down Yale students’ encampment amid protests.
[link removed]
Read Yale’s full statement issuing “final warnings” and instructing protesters to end encampments or “face discipline including suspension for violating university rules and arrest for trespassing.”
UChicago. Wednesday, the University of Chicago entered its
[link removed]
third day of tent encampments. Alongside the planned rallies was a Zoom call featuring
[link removed]
Dr. Sami Al Arian, a Palestinian political activist and former professor at the University of South Florida. Dr. Al Arian previously pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
Tulane. Early Wednesday, police
[link removed]
cleared the tent encampment at Tulane University and arrested 14 protesters, including two Tulane students. In a statement issued by Tulane President Mike Fitts, he shared that while the university values free speech and the right to protest, it does not condone hate speech, antisemitism, or intimidation in any form.
[link removed]
Read the full statement.
UW Madison. Wednesday morning, Wisconsin police
[link removed]
dismantled an encampment, detaining protesters. They could be heard chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — an antisemitic slogan long used by anti-Israel voices, including Hamas.
[link removed]
Read more about the antisemitic rallying cry.

WATCH ADL’s CEO Jonathan Greenblatt on CNN. “You can vociferously criticize Israeli policy, you can strongly oppose moves by the Netanyahu government... but something is deeply wrong... when the way you express your frustration is telling Jewish students to go back to Poland. When the way you manifest your anger is by waving a Hezbollah or Hamas flag. That isn’t normal.”

GW. While there are issues at George Washington University in DC, big shout out to students holding a rally today to show their Jewish pride, call for safety on campus, and urge the release of hostages in Gaza. A survivor from the Nova massacre on October 7th will be there. ADL is proud to support these students. Show your support by signing
[link removed]
their letter to Mayor Bowser urging her to help remove antisemitic protesters from GW.
Fordham. Last night,
[link removed]
Fordham University requested the assistance of NYPD to clear an encampment at its Lincoln Square campus. 15 people were arrested; reportedly some were students.
[link removed]
Fordham Prez Tania Tetlow: “This decision was not about parsing the difference between protected political speech and threats, nor was it about the Middle East. This was only about the physical protection of the campus. It comes down to this: Fordham students have a right to feel safe and to finish their exams. Period.”
We couldn’t agree more.

Thank President Tetlow.
White House. The
[link removed]
White House yesterday made clear that calling for an “intifada” is “tragic and dangerous hate speech.” Unsurprisingly, the National SJP organization
[link removed]
called to “globalize the intifada.”
[link removed]
Read more about the term.
Congress. Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed the long-awaited bipartisan
[link removed]
Antisemitism Awareness Act, which reinforces the use of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism in addressing antisemitic harassment and discrimination on campus, in line with policy that has been in effect over the last two Presidential Administrations. ADL has been a longtime champion of this legislation, going back to the original effort in 2018.
Fighting Hate from Home. Yesterday, over 3,800 people joined ADL’s “Fighting Hate from Home” webinar featuring Rep. Ritchie Torres, UT-Austin student Barri Seitz, and Tufts University parent Francine Ephraim. The session focused on how we can help Jewish college students as they face unprecedented antisemitism on campus. Missed it?

Poll: The Vast Majority of Americans Back Israel over Hamas. Despite what we are seeing on campus, it is (semi) relieving to see that 80 percent of registered voters said they support Israel more in the war, while 20 percent said they support Hamas more, according to a
[link removed]
survey from the Harvard CAPS-Harris that was shared with the Hill.
