Counter Antisemitism: We All Must Act
Since October 7, 2023, ADL has been responding to an unprecedented surge in antisemitic incidents on college and university campuses. With an 84% increase in campus incidents in 2024 alone, the urgent need for schools to ensure a safe and harassment-free environment where all students, staff and faculty can thrive has never been clearer.
Not On My Campus offers a clear path to No Tolerance for Antisemitism, guiding university leaders on necessary actions and assessing their efforts through ADL’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card. The newly released 2026 Report Card shows that progress is possible: 50% of the 135 schools assessed in 2025 improved their grades this year. Our Impact of the Report Card page highlights how the gradings have driven institutions to strengthen policies, improve responses and take meaningful steps to address antisemitism.
The website also provides comprehensive resources - including support networks and advocacy toolkits - for students, parents, staff, faculty, administrators, alumni and community partners working to combat antisemitism in higher education.
New data underscores the scope of the problem. ADL’s 2026 survey of non-Jewish college students found that 48.3% reported witnessing or experiencing anti-Jewish behavior on campus or in campus-related digital spaces in the past year, highlighting how widespread these incidents remain and the continued need for vigilance and action.
Progress is happening, but much work remains. We must persist in demanding change and using every available tool and resource to ensure campuses are safe and inclusive for all.
Pathway to No Tolerance
Committing to No Tolerance for Antisemitism requires clear, concerted action. There are several core action steps universities can and should take to demonstrate the commitment to No Tolerance and make their campuses safer, including six tangible actions universities can take now. Some have already taken important steps in implementing the policies ADL recommends. However, consistent and equal enforcement, as well as regular policy re-assessments, is essential to fostering a safe campus climate free from discrimination and disruptions.

Tell Congress to Protect Jewish Students on Campus
Jewish students face swastikas, blocked classroom access and chants calling for their harm, while too many universities fail to respond effectively.
The Protecting Students on Campus Act would strengthen protections and require greater transparency from universities. Urge your Member of Congress to support this critical legislation.
