The Steinhardt Social Research Institute at Brandeis University has released Hotspots of Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Sentiment on US Campuses. The report follows their 2015 study that found that a substantial portion of Jewish students reported having been exposed to antisemitism and hostility toward Israel on their campuses. Because the extent of the problem varied considerably across campuses, the researchers attempted to identify hotspots, or campuses where antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment were especially
acute. Based on findings from a 2016 survey of Jewish undergraduates at 50 US campuses, this study also looks at the particular manifestations of hostility at different campuses and the ways in which hostile climates influence the lives of Jewish students.
Among the study's key findings:
CUNY-Brooklyn, Northwestern, and many of the schools in the University of California system, are “hotspots” where the majority of Jewish students perceive a hostile environment toward Israel, and over one quarter perceive a general environment of hostility toward Jews on their campus.
