The American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Hillel International released their 2025 report of the State of Antisemitism in America.
AJC and Hillel International combined their efforts highlighting data how American Jewish college and university students have experienced antisemitism on college campuses over the past 2 years.
42% of Jewish students said they were victims of antisemitism. 55% said they felt unsafe and uncomfortable at their local college campus.
In the report AJC says 34% of Jewish students that were surveyed said they avoid displaying their Jewish identity due to fear of antisemitism.
60%) steer cleared of wearing, carrying, or displaying things that would identify them as Jewish. 38% of Jewish students said they keep silent on their views on Israel on campus or with classmates.
Is antisemitism institutionalized from a campus perspective?
32% of Jewish college students say that they have felt that student life and/or student activities have promoted antisemitism or fueled a learning environment that is hostile to Jews. Another 25% of all Jewish college students say they have felt or been excluded from a group or an event on campus because they are Jewish.
Around 70% of all Jewish college students surveyed said caring about Israel is important to what being Jewish means to them and 76%say that the statement “Israel has no right to exist” is antisemitic.
80% of parents of Jewish high school students say that reports of antisemitism on campus are at least somewhat important in deciding where their student will attend college.
The surveys of American Jews and U.S. adults were conducted by polling 1,222 Jews, ages 18 or older.
