Dear President ___ ,

As an alum of (insert school) I am deeply concerned about antisemitism on campus. I reviewed the ADL Campus Antisemitism Report Card and was dismayed to see how my beloved university scored (insert grade). I urge you to take immediate steps to improve the climate on campus and ensure that all students feel welcomed and safe at school.

I spent some of the best days of my life at (insert school). I have been dedicated to ensuring its continued legacy by donating and being involved in alumni activities. I am proud to be a graduate of (insert school), but I am disappointed by the lack of adequate action to address antisemitism on campus and support Jewish students.

If you have not already, I urge you to take the following steps.

1. Speak up forcefully against antisemitism.
2. Rigorously enforce student and faculty disciplinary rules and non-harassment policies and ensure transparency regarding outcomes.
3. Investigate anti-Zionist and anti-Israel groups that glorify terrorism.
4. Create a task force or advisory group focused on campus antisemitism.
5. Update security protocols and enforce time, place, and manner restrictions.
6. Conduct trainings and incorporate antisemitism awareness into DEI.

I care deeply for this institution and its students and hope to see the university take concrete steps to counter antisemitism and to better support Jewish students before the next school year.

Best,

Name, year
