At AJC Global Forum 2025, education leaders tackled one of today’s most pressing challenges: how to ensure that schools and universities remain safe, inclusive spaces for Jewish students.

Following the Trump administration's decision to revoke $400 million in federal funding over Columbia University's failure to protect Jewish students, the university announced sweeping policy changes. Meanwhile, the U.S. moved to deport former Columbia student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, accusing him of concealing his ties to UNRWA. Dr. Laura Shaw Frank, Director of AJC’s Center for Education Advocacy, joins People of the Pod to discuss the delicate balance between combating antisemitism, safeguarding free speech, and ensuring campuses remain safe for all students.

AJC's Center for Education Advocacy (CEA) shares a commitment to fostering educational environments that promote critical thinking and inclusivity. Our collaboration with schools ensures that these spaces remain welcoming to all identities, including Jewish students, faculty, and families, while firmly rejecting all forms of antisemitism.

To ensure Israeli scholars and their American colleagues can collaborate freely, and foster research and innovation that benefits all of humanity, 2 scientists at MIT formed The Kalaniyot Foundation, named after Israel's national flower. Drs. Or Hen and Ernest Fraenkel speak on the impact of anti-Israel boycotts on academic collaboration with Israeli scholars, and what they’re doing to rehabilitate the reputation of Israeli researchers in the eyes of the world.

Imagine being spat on as you walk across your college campus simply because you’re Jewish or being asked whether you’re a “good Jew” or a “bad Jew.” As part of AJC’s State of Antisemitism in America 2024 Report, AJC and Hillel International partnered to document the experiences of Jewish students on campus. In the second installment of this two-part series, meet two students whose experiences reflect these alarming statistics.

Today, American Jewish Committee (AJC), Hillel International, and the American Council on Education (ACE) concluded a landmark two-day College and University Presidents Summit on Campus Antisemitism, held at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center.

Thousands of Jewish students have modeled resilience and strength in the face of exclusion and harassment since the October 7 attack on Israel. Hear are the stories of five such Jewish college students.

Here are some steps that AJC and Hillel International recommend institutions take to ensure that Jewish students and all students can learn in a safe and inclusive campus environment.

Heading into the school year, college campuses must be a place where Jewish and pro-Israel students can learn, thrive, and grow—and not be a hotbed for antisemitic and anti-Israel hate. As Jewish students around the country face harassment, intimidation, and violence on campus, these students are flipping the script, showing their Jewish pride and sounding the alarm on rising antisemitism.

American Jewish Committee today welcomed a sweeping report that found the City University of New York (CUNY) is ill-equipped to handle rampant antisemitism at many of its campuses.

Cultural Night events provide an excellent experiential and educational opportunity to celebrate the diversity of your school community, uplift students' sense of pride in their unique identities, and foster hands-on learning about cultures other than one's own.
