Core Findings from the ADL Report
In January 2025 the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), in partnership with Hillel International and College Pulse, released a nationwide campus-antisemitism report. The study documented that 27.3 % of Jewish students said they observed antisemitic behavior by faculty or teaching assistants.
Specific Campus Incidents
- University of California, Berkeley – The ADL cited an alleged email offering “extra credit” for attending a university-sponsored series titled *Thinking from Palestine: Dispossession, Liberation, and Return*.
- An unnamed instructor allegedly called a student with Israel-Defense-Forces combat experience “one of the murderers,” and a Jewish student was told, “It’s such a shame that your people survived in order to commit mass genocide.”
Official University Responses
- UC Berkeley – Dan Mogulof reiterated the lack of documentation for the extra-credit claim.
Data & Statistics
- 27.3 % of surveyed Jewish students reported faculty-related antisemitic behavior (ADL, January 2025).
