A watchdog group that monitors anti-Semitism flunked Columbia University, NYU and CUNY’s Brooklyn College for allegedly failing to confront Jewish hatred on campus.
said “students report a hostile and anti-Semitic environment when their identity or Zionist beliefs are expressed” — and that students groups approved resolutions supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against the Jewish State of Israel.
In February 2022, Jewish students filed a complaint with the DOE’s Office of Civil Rights alleging “pervasive anti-Semitism” from both students and faculty — including professors spouting antisemitic tropes and being described as benefitting from “white privilege,” the report card said.— that CUNY had become a “pervasively hostile environment for Jewish students.
“Columbia University is proud to have one of the largest and most active Jewish communities of any University in the country. Anti-Semitism and all forms of hate and racism have been and will continue to be addressed in the strongest possible way by the University,” said Columbia spokesperson Samantha Slater.
NYU president Andrew Hamilton last spring also hosted a summit of college presidents, co-sponsored by Hillel International, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Council on Education, on fighting anti-Semitism.Brooklyn College also disputed its F grade.
