Among major metropolitan areas, Chicago continued to grow as a major hub of
campus BDS initiatives as activists expanded anti-Israel actions on multiple campuses.
Three Chicago-area universities – University of Chicago; University of Illinois at
Chicago; and Northwestern University – passed anti-Israel resolutions in a three-month
period during the spring of 2016.

Even though BDS activity saw an overall decline, the number of campuses experiencing anti-Israel activity increased slightly (181 in 2014-2015; 185 in 2015-2016).
