Cal State and other UC Campuses
Students at the Cal State campuses were grouped together because of the relatively small
number of respondents at each of these campuses (<65), and because there were
substantial similarities in how students on the campuses within each group answered many
of the questions in the survey. The same is true for the four smaller UC campuses (Davis,
Berkeley, San Diego, and Santa Cruz).

We did not find any significant difference between respondents at the various Cal State
campuses in their perceptions of hostility to Jews or Israel on their campus, once connection
to Israel and Birthright Israel participation were controlled for.5 In contrast, differences did
appear between respondents at schools within the UC group. In particular, students at UC
Davis were significantly more likely than students at any of the other three schools to
perceive hostility to Jews on their campus. Students at both UC Davis and UC Berkeley were
significantly more likely to perceive hostility to Israel on their campus compared to students
at UC San Diego or UC Santa Cruz.6 However, because of the small number of respondents at
each of these campuses, it is impossible to reliably determine how each of these schools
individually would compare to the other schools discussed in this report.
