Campus Reform reports:

Study shows that Harvard ranks first in anti-Semitic incidentsThe AMCHA Initiative, “a non-partisan organization whose sole mission is to document, investigate, and combat antisemitism on U.S. college campuses,” recently reported that Harvard University, more than any other, threatens Jewish identity on campus.25 anti-Semitic incidents were recorded by AMCHA at Harvard just in the past year.The information came as part of a report released this November by the organization titled “A Looming Crisis for the American Jewish Community: Campus Antisemitism & the Assault on Jewish Identity.”One of the many incidents recorded by AMCHA was an “art display” at the university that read “Zionism is Racism, Settler-Colonialism, White Supremacy Apartheid.”Campus Reform reported on this incident in April.Incidents relayed by AMCHA also included the student newspaper The Harvard Crimson supporting the anti-Israel BDS movement, speaking events denouncing Zionism, and others.Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, Director of AMCHA, explained her perspective on campus anti-Semitism to Campus Reform.“University administrators must acknowledge that harassment and bullying that denies Jewish students – or any student – the ability to fully participate in campus life should never be tolerated, and they must establish a sing[l]e behavioral standard for responding to harassing behavior, irrespective of the motivation of the perpetrator or the identity of the victim.”Harvard University was ranked above the University of Chicago in the report, which had 13 anti-Semitic incidents this past year, and Tufts University, which had 12.
