Some 43% of Jewish students in American colleges and universities have personally experienced antisemitism or witnessed antisemitic activity on campus that was not directed at them, according to a new study conducted for the Anti-Defamation League and Hillel International.
The report found that 15% of Jewish students felt the need to hide their Jewish identity on campus, while many of the respondents witnessed swastikas daubed around campus, including on the doors of Jewish students’ accommodations, on Jewish fraternities, sororities and cultural buildings, and in one case on the notes of a Jewish student.
