Haverford. A
[link removed]
masked protester with a bullhorn disrupted an event featuring Israeli journalist Haviv Rettig Gur at Haverford College, shouting genocide claims about Israel and threatening attendees by saying "When Gaza is burned, you will all burn too." The following day, the college President sent a message to the campus community stating that the disruption was "in clear violation of our Policy on Expressive Freedom and Responsibility" and that "shouting down a speaker whom one does not agree with is never acceptable."

ADL quickly called on Haverford to hold those involved accountable and reached out to the administration to discuss the situation. Following an investigation, the school's Campus Safety Director confirmed that the protester is not a member of the Haverford community and has been banned from campus indefinitely.

Sarah Lawrence. Jewish students at Sarah Lawrence College were left feeling unsafe and targeted after an
[link removed]
event featuring journalist Ezra Klein was disrupted by protesters affiliated with Students for Justice in Palestine. Protesters at the New York school blocked entrances, chanted at attendees and scrawled antisemitic slurs like “Zionist pig” on campus boards. Klein — himself a frequent critic of Israeli policy — attempted to engage the protesters, but they were having none of it. Instead, they chose to send a clear message that simply attending a campus event like this can invite anti-Israel harassment. Sarah Lawrence president Cristle Collins Judd later acknowledged the behavior as

antisemitic and intimidating.

Nebraska. Good news and bad news for Jewish students in Nebraska... First the bad: after a heated discussion, the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska
[link removed]
passed a divestment resolution written in part by the school’s SJP chapter. The school’s Regents and administration quickly rejected the bill. Speaking for opponents of the bill, university Hillel president
[link removed]
Preston Gordman reminded students that “SJP specifically wants to target Israel, and by doing so, they will tarnish UNL’s reputation and kill their federal funding.” Solid call by the Nebraska Regents when you consider that a
[link removed]
report by ADL-affiliate JLens warns that divestment could cost major universities billions in endowment returns. In more promising news out of the Cornhusker State, Nebraska’s Legislature unanimously gave initial approval to
[link removed]
LB 538, a bill that would adopt the IHRA (the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) Working Definition of Antisemitism and formally prohibit antisemitic discrimination in K–12 schools and colleges in the state.

University of Washington. The University of Washington will
[link removed]
require campus-wide civil rights training that touches on antisemitism under an agreement with the U.S. Dept of Education, following federal scrutiny over the school’s response to antisemitism. The requirement expands training the university had already developed; it will now address antisemitism alongside other forms of unlawful discrimination and walk participants through the often-blurred line between protected speech and conduct that can create a hostile campus environment.

Stories From a Former Anti-Israel Activist: In a
[link removed]
JPost podcast, former campus activist Taryn Thomas lifts up the curtain on the anti-Israel movement as she shares insights into how as a Stanford University student she initially got swept up. She talks about the devastating impact of seeing a Nova Music Festival exhibit that ran so counter to the narratives she had seen about 10/7 until then, and how she ultimately reassessed her views to the point where she now encourages other students to question narratives, acknowledge nuance and understand how campus antisemitism affects Jewish students.

Australia. Australian universities are about to get graded — literally — on how they handle antisemitism, protests, encampments and campus safety. A new government-backed antisemitism
[link removed]
“report card” will assess whether schools respond quickly and effectively to incidents that have made campus life feel unsafe, isolating or outright hostile for Jewish students. The criteria focus on protest rules, complaints processes and whether universities actually enforce their policies. This effort is part of a national plan on antisemitism developed by Special Envoy Jillian Segal, which the government endorsed following the deadly attack on the Bondi Beach Hannukah celebration, which killed 15.

Queens. A 17-year-old student at a Queens charter school was
[link removed]
arrested after allegedly sending antisemitic emails threatening violence against Jewish people — including horrific phrases like “Kill all the Jews” — to more than 300 students. Authorities charged the teen with making terroristic threats and aggravated harassment as a hate crime. The arrest comes amid a sharp spike in antisemitic incidents across New York City, with police reporting a 182% increase in January alone compared to the same month last year. State Sen. Jessica Ramos, whose district includes the school, described the antisemitic threat as “deeply disturbing."

Pride and Power. A new collective called Tribe NIL is helping Jewish college athletes earn money from their name, image and likeness while proudly expressing their Jewish identity on campus and on the field. Founded in 2024, the group connects student-athletes with sponsors, mentors and one another, allowing not just endorsement opportunities but a
[link removed]
sense of belonging at a time when many Jewish athletes feel isolated. “Being the only Jewish athlete on my team has brought me closer to my faith and I have found a deeper connection to Judaism,” says Barton College baseball player Josh Wolkin, who says Tribe NIL helped link him to other Jewish college athletes. Tribe NIL has become a rare space where athletic ambition and Jewish pride come together.
