Teaming Up on Campus:
The Academic Engagement Network — an organization that mobilizes networks of university faculty and administrators to counter antisemitism — and ADL announced a new collaboration to leverage the strengths of both organizations to fight antisemitism on U.S. campuses and in the broader academic world. The partnership will develop and disseminate resources, engage a wider network of Jewish and Zionist faculty and staff, enable joint research and programming and implement targeted initiatives to foster safer, more inclusive campus environments.
Read more about this new collaboration.
Reporting on the Report Cards: Earlier this week, ADL launched a new and expanded edition of ADL’s
Campus Antisemitism Report Card, an in-depth assessment of what schools are doing to combat antisemitism and how to improve the campus climate for Jewish students. The new version now includes 135 schools, up from the 85 assessed last year. For a quick summary of why this Report Card makes an impact, watch ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt on MSNBC’s Morning Joe as he discusses the successes and weak spots of schools in protecting Jewish students and Jewish life on campus.

A Global Gathering:
On the sidelines of ADL’s Never Is Now Summit, ADL’s 2025 Global Jewish Roundtable brought together 50+ global Jewish leaders to gain practical tools to combat hate. As Ambassador Marina Rosenberg, ADL’s SVP of International Affairs said in expressing the sentiment among these leaders, “An attack on one community is an attack on all.” With nearly half the world’s adults holding significant antisemitic beliefs, this is a vital time to turn words into action. Topics included government advocacy, keeping Jewish students safe, communications strategies as well as legal challenges and opportunities. For more about global antisemitism,

A Platform for Hate:
The Nation of Islam held its annual Saviours’ Day conference in Chicago. In a marked departure from over 40 years of tradition, longtime leader Louis Farrakhan, 91, was mostly absent from the weekend’s activities, which were also smaller in scale than usual. Nonetheless, Farrakhan and NOI’s familiar brand of conspiratorial and antisemitic rhetoric — including some of the same claims that Farrakhan made during his 2024 Saviours’ Day address about Hamas’ 10/7 terrorist attack and Israel — reverberated in the messages shared by his followers.

Hate from the Houthis:
In January, President Donald Trump designated the Houthis, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s terror proxy in Yemen, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. This adds to their previous designation under the Biden administration as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The Houthis have been launching missile and drone attacks against Israel in direct alliance with Hamas since 2023. Who are they? The Houthis, or “Ansar Allah” (Supporters of God), belong to the minority Zaydi sect of Shia Islam. The Houthi attacks on Israel are motivated by a deep and intense hatred of Jews that predates the Gaza conflict by decades.

Helping on the Hill:
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing titled, “Never to be Silent: Stemming the Tide of Antisemitism in America,” drawing on ADL-prepared materials, including the Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, Campus Antisemitism Report Card data and ADL-drafted questions. Senators from across the political spectrum demonstrated a strong commitment to combating antisemitism on campuses, discussing policies to counter the scourge of antisemitism on college campuses, the point at which peaceful protests escalate into harassment or intimidation, the role of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the importance of the Nonprofit Security Grant
Program (NSGP), and implementation of the new Executive Order: Additional Measures to Counter Antisemitism. See more from ADL about the hearings.
