NEW ADL REPORT: How anti-Israel activists on campus and elsewhere in U.S. amplify terror propaganda.

Cooper Union. After a lawsuit by Jewish students who said that Manhattan’s Cooper Union tolerated antisemitic harassment, the school has
[link removed]
agreed to significant policy changes. The incidents included a particularly alarming moment when Jewish students were forced to barricade themselves in a campus library as angry anti-Israel protesters pounded on the doors and shouted at them. Under the settlement, the college will explicitly recognize discrimination based on pro-Israel beliefs as a violation of its policies and restrict masked protests. The school will also appoint a Title VI coordinator and mandate campus-wide training on its nondiscrimination policies, including on when protesting against Israel crosses the line into antisemitism. ADL

commended the agreement, noting it "will help ensure a safer environment for students, staff and faculty.”

Georgetown. United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese
[link removed]
has been cut loose from any official affiliation with Georgetown University, where she had long been an affiliated scholar. School rules bar relationships with people sanctioned by the U.S. government, and Albanese has been sanctioned for what the
[link removed]
State Department termed “political and economic warfare” against the US and Israel. If her name sounds familiar, it may be because ADL and others have long called out her blatant bias. As ADL noted in
[link removed]
a letter to the UN, she “has made inflammatory and antisemitic statements, undermining the principles of impartiality and integrity required of her role as set out by UNHRC resolution 5/2.” You can read more from ADL in “

MIT. A Massachusetts District Judge

ruled in favor of MIT this month in the case Sussman v. MIT, in which two MIT students alleged that during the height of the encampment movement, they were threatened because of their Israeli and Jewish identities, exposed to antisemitic graffiti and chants and ignored by the school’s incident response office. The judge did not disagree with the allegations and agreed that MIT’s response “left much to be desired,” but found that the school had not deliberately chosen to do the wrong thing and that the claims did not rise to the severity of a Title IV violation.

Courts Draw Limits. Two high-profile campus lawsuits
[link removed]
hit roadblocks this week, as courts signaled limits on constitutional protections in volatile university disputes. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals declined to force the University of Florida to re-admit a law student they had expelled over concerns that his presence on campus created a substantial disruption. The appeals court found that the student’s statements -- including calls to abolish Jews -- were likely not protected speech. Separately, a federal judge denied a University of Kentucky law professor’s request to halt an investigation into his anti-Israel speech.

How to Study in Israel. Given the tense campus climate for Jewish students at some U.S. schools,
[link removed]
a new initiative called The Future is Calling has been launched to help students and their families better understand Israeli universities. As one leader of the new program explained, there is a ton of interest but “there were huge informational gaps, practical gaps and emotional gaps. People didn’t understand how the system works, what campus life looks like or how their kids would actually integrate.” For example, it’s not all parties and pitas for students in Israel. Israelis often start college later in life, may have kids by that point and are more focused on getting their degree than enjoying campus life.

Education as Antidote. As he watched students come back to campus at the start of 2026,
[link removed]
Alan Kadish , the president of Touro University in New York, called for more effective action after the terror and antisemitism that swept the world last year. Condemnation isn’t enough; “leadership cannot be fleeting,” Kadish noted, and we need a substantive response that pairs government leadership with a renewed commitment from administrators and educators. Universities should embed serious education about antisemitism into curricula, fostering peer-to-peer engagement and equipping students to challenge hate. Education remains one of the most powerful tools to change the trajectory ahead.

Israel Ambassadors. The latest wave of U.S. student leaders to go through the
[link removed]
IsraelAmbassadors program in Israel has returned stateside, resolved to speak up and educate their fellow students. Oregon State Senior Yael Raich, for example, said that last year she’d been called a Nazi on campus while calling for the 10/7 hostages to be freed. She is eager to bring her new insights home, saying "as soon as you start humanizing a subject and making it not something that's miles and miles away, people start to understand things more than if it's just something like on the other side of the world, a conflict that you have no personal connection to." Students came from a variety of schools including UCLA, Brandeis, Rutgers, NYU, Penn and Yale.
