13 American universities given ‘F’ grade on handling campus antisemitism

Thirteen universities across the United States received the “F” grade in the 2025 Campus Anti-Semitism Report Card released by the Prevention League on Monday.

Survey of 135 schools – This aims to provide “the current state of anti-Semitism on campus and how universities and universities respond,” according to ADL, as they are graded from A to F based on 30 different criteria. The criteria can be divided into three categories: management policy, Jewish life on campus, campus behavior and climate concerns.

The 13 schools with “F” grades include California Institute of Technology, DePaul University, Evergreen State University, Haverford University, Loyola University New Orleans, Pomona College, Pomona College, Portland State University, Scripps College, New School, University of California, Santa University, University of Minnesota

“We are disappointed by the ADL evaluation. DePaul University stands firmly in condemning anti-Semitism in all forms and doing so in line with our values,” DePaul announced Monday in response to the report.

“We would like to meet with ADL to better understand how they determined this grade and hear their suggestions on how they could enhance the lives and experiences of Jewish students at DePaul,” the school added.

Other schools mentioned above did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital on Monday.

Last November, two Jewish students were attacked by masked attackers on the DePaul University campus in Chicago.

In May, Portland State University temporarily closed its campus after anti-Israeli protesters took over the library, creating graffiti and destruction. Around the same time, a new school in New York City was set up camps displaying protest messages such as “Zionist donors and councillors, handing over our university hands” and “The future is anti-Zionist,” according to the ADL.

At the University of California, Santa Barbara, “students reported multiple faculty members expressing anti-Israel bias during class,” said the University of Minnesota, where students held an anti-Israel protest outside Hillel on October 7, 2024,” ADL said.

These and other cases contributed to schools receiving “F” grades.

Eight schools received an “A” on their report cards, including Florida International University, University of Alabama, University of Miami, and Vanderbilt University.

“ADL gave A or B a 36% of schools from 23.5% in 2024 in the 2025 Campus Anti-Semitism Report Card,” the organization said.

“More than 50% of schools assessed in 2024 have enacted major policy changes in response to the rising anti-Semitism on campus. Almost all have revised their demonstration policies. Universities that strengthen policies, consistently strengthen, mandate anti-Semitist education, and improve bias reporting are making the most progress,” they added.

Among the Ivy League schools, Dartmouth College won the “B” grade, while other schools such as Yale and Columbia received the “D” grade.

“I said that last year, and I said it again. Every campus should get an “A.” This is not hiber. This should be the norm,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. “While many campuses have improved in ways that are praiseworthy for encouragement, Jewish students are still not feeling safe or included on too many campuses. The progress we see is evidence that change is possible.
