Template Letter - Student
Show your support for No Tolerance for Antisemitism by sending a letter to your university president. Below is a template letter you can send your university leaders urging them to proactively counter antisemitism and make campus a safer, welcoming environment for Jewish students.
Dear President ___ ,
As a student at (insert school) I am deeply concerned about antisemitism on campus. I reviewed the ADL Campus Antisemitism Report Card and was dismayed to see that (insert school) received a (insert grade) grade. I urge you to take immediate steps to improve the campus climate and ensure all students feel welcomed and safe at school.
I was so proud when I was accepted to (insert school). I have had many amazing enriching experiences as a student here. That said, the toll of antisemitism on Jewish students is deeply harmful. Myself and my fellow students have experienced antisemitism first hand (insert examples and personal stories). I plan on returning next year, but I am deeply concerned about the safety and well being of Jewish students on campus.
If you have not already, I urge you to take the following steps.
- Speak up forcefully against antisemitism.
- Rigorously enforce student and faculty disciplinary rules and non-harassment policies and ensure transparency regarding outcomes.
- Investigate anti-Zionist and anti-Israel groups that glorify terrorism.
- Create a task force or advisory group focused on campus antisemitism.
- Update security protocols and enforce time, place, and manner restrictions.
- Conduct trainings and incorporate antisemitism awareness into DEI.
As a student, I care deeply for this institution and hope to see the university take concrete steps to counter antisemitism and better support Jewish students before the next school year.
Best,
Name, Year
