ADL launches ‘Not On My Campus’ campaign, urging US universities to combat antisemitism

The Anti-Defamation League says it is launching a new campus campaign urging US academic institutions to combat surging antisemitic incidents, which have proliferated since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught and the ensuing war.

“Existing campus systems have failed to protect Jewish students facing discrimination and harassment on their campuses,” the ADL says in a statement. “The Not On My Campus campaign offers a clear call to action for university and college leaders to commit to No Tolerance for antisemitism on their campuses and meet their moral and legal obligations to provide safe, inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students.”

The group’s CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says: “It is unacceptable that Jewish students find themselves in a position where they are being made to feel increasingly unsafe and unwelcome on their own college campuses. As an urgent priority, colleges and universities must rigorously enforce their codes of conduct to protect against antisemitism, just as they do for other forms of identity-based harassment and discrimination.”
