A surge of antisemitism on U.S. college campuses has sparked widespread concern, prompting investigations, lawsuits, and congressional action. Reports indicate that Jewish students from institutions ranging from Harvard to UC Berkeley are facing a hostile environment, with an increase in incidents of hate and discrimination. A federal investigation has revealed that cases related to campus antisemitism have been opened or filed nearly every other day since October 7. The situation has led to a House hearing where Jewish students described the campus atmosphere as a 'wasteland of hatred.' The October 7 attack in Israel has been cited as a catalyst for the renewed focus on higher education policies, with congressional Republicans and experts seeing an opportunity for systemic reform. The antisemitism experienced by Jewish students has been facilitated by their universities, leading to calls for accountability and action from educational institutions. The @EdWorkforceCmte is set to hold these institutions accountable, and there are calls for leaders like Garber to act or resign.
