New ADL research finds antisemitism taking root in classrooms and faculty networks. Published: 08.12.2026 ADL launches resource hub & confidential reporting channel for classroom-based antisemitism. New York, NY, August 12, 2026... ADL's (the Anti-Defamation League) Center to Combat Antisemitism in Education, with support from the ADL Center on Extremism, today launched "When Antisemitism Comes to Class," a new initiative designed to help colleges and universities address antisemitism where it increasingly takes root: inside classrooms, faculty governance and organized academic networks. The initiative includes two new research reports, practical guidance for higher education leaders and the launch of the Campus Classroom Reporting (CCR) mechanism - a confidential reporting and support channel for students, faculty and staff facing antisemitism in classrooms and curricula. ADL's new report, "Antisemitism Among Faculty and in the Classroom: Trends, Patterns and Institutional Dynamics," examines how faculty conduct, curricular framing and academic governance structures are shaping the experience of Jewish and Israeli students, staff and faculty on college campuses. Beyond the headlines about student protests and encampments, this new research points to less visible institutional and faculty dynamics that may be having a very significant impact on campus climate. "Antisemitism doesn't only show up in a student protest chant or an encampment, it can show up in a syllabus, a lecture, a seemingly innocuous remark or a coordinated network of professors organizing against Israel's existence," said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. "Because classrooms and faculty organizing spaces are largely invisible to those outside the institution, this problem has been allowed to fester with far less scrutiny than it warrants. Universities cannot claim to be addressing antisemitism seriously if they ignore what happens behind the classroom door and inside faculty governance." Key findings from the report include recurring patterns such as: * One-sided framing that blurs education with advocacy, including course descriptions and syllabi at institutions such as Stanford, Princeton, Northwestern and UC Berkeley that present contested political claims about Israel and Zionism as settled fact. * The introduction of pro-terrorism narratives into coursework, including assigned readings by leaders of designated terrorist organizations such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and faculty commentary expressing support for or celebration of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. * Academic incentives that pressure students to conform, such as extra credit for attending anti-Israel walkouts and rallies, and canceled classes in favor of protest participation. * The singling out of Jewish and Israeli students in classroom settings, including being asked to answer for Israeli government policy or being labeled an "occupier" or "murderer" because of national origin or military service. * Faculty governance actions supporting Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) initiatives, including resolutions passed by faculty unions and senates in the CUNY system, the California State University system and at Rutgers, Amherst and the University of Michigan. "Recognizing and addressing these patterns is not in tension with academic freedom, it is necessary to preserve it. Universities have a responsibility to ensure classrooms and faculty governance structures remain places of genuine intellectual openness and fairness, where contested issues are explored with rigor, balance and respect for all students and colleagues," Greenblatt added. "Too many incidents of antisemitism in the classroom never come to light - not because they don't matter, but because the path to reporting them has too often been unclear or inaccessible," said Shira Goodman, ADL Vice President of Public Affairs and Special Initiatives. "The ADL Campus Classroom Reporting (CCR) mechanism helps change that by making it easier to surface concerns and identify patterns. Every student, faculty member and staff member deserves a campus where antisemitism is confronted, accountability is the standard and no one is left to navigate these experiences alone." The Faculty Factor: Mapping the Networks Behind Campus Activism Released alongside this report is an investigation into the organized faculty networks driving anti-Israel and anti-Zionist campus activism, as well as a confidential reporting mechanism for classroom-based concerns. "The Faculty Factor: Inside the Networks Driving Anti-Israel and Anti-Zionist Activism on Campus" documents how an organized segment of faculty groups, unions and networks has become a driving force behind anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activity on campus. This report reveals how certain faculty networks have deepened their collaboration with anti-Israel student groups since the wave of 2024 campus encampments, providing institutional cover and helping shield them from disciplinary consequences. The report examines several of the most influential networks: Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP), American Association of University Professors (AAUP), California Faculty Association (CFA), Coalition for Action in Higher Education (CAHE) and the Sanctuary Campus Network (SCN). "The hostile environment on campus toward Zionist and Jewish students is not an accident, but the result of organized, well-resourced networks working to reshape academic institutions from within," said Oren Segal, ADL Senior Vice President of Counter-Extremism and Intelligence. "When faculty use their position to shield activists from accountability for their actions, it is a failure in protecting all students equally from hate and harassment." ADL tracked 1,694 antisemitic incidents on U.S. campuses in 2024 and 583 in 2025;. While anti-Israel campus protests and widely covered incidents declined, this report reveals what is happening behind closed doors and contributing to a sustained hostile environment. New Guidance and Reporting Tools To help institutions translate these findings into action, ADL is also releasing: * The Campus Classroom Reporting (CCR) mechanism - a new confidential support channel for students, staff and faculty with concerns about antisemitism or biased content related to Jews or Israel in classroom experiences, instructional framing, assignments or faculty conduct. ADL's research has found that the large majority of students who witness or experience antisemitism on campus never report the incident to campus authorities, underscoring the need for accessible, low-barrier options to report incidents. * A variety of best practice guides and model policies to support institutions in addressing issues of discrimination in tenure, academic freedom and faculty codes of conduct. This release builds on ADL's broader body of work examining antisemitism in higher education, including its annual Campus Antisemitism Report Card and its recent report on antisemitism within professional academic associations. ADL is ready to partner with university administrators, faculty governance bodies and campus stakeholders to implement the guidance outlined in these resources. ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913 to protect the Jewish people, ADL works to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all. In the face of rising antisemitism and extremism, Anti-Defamation League protect, advocate, and educate, through a mix of programs and services using the latest innovations and technology, and seek to create a world without hate.

ADL files federal civil-rights complaint over alleged antisemitic bullying in Colorado school district. "No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child's safety at school," James Pasch, vice president of litigation for the ADL, stated. (Jun. 16, 2026 / JNS) The Anti-Defamation League has filed a federal civil-rights complaint against the Boulder Valley School District in Colorado, alleging that a student was the victim of antisemitic bullying and physical abuse while attending Southern Hills Middle School. According to the complaint filed on June 11 with the U.S. Department of Education and with the Denver Office for Civil Rights, the victim, identified as "Student A," was subjected to repeated antisemitic bullying, slurs and physical assaults by multiple students during his seventh- and eighth-grade years, from 2024 to 2026. According to the filing, students called Jews "dirty" and "contaminated," attempted to organize a game dubbed "Jew touch tag," and directed Nazi salutes and Holocaust-related taunts at the student. In a December 2025 incident cited in the complaint, a classmate allegedly used a charging cord to pull the student backward by the neck while calling him a "stupid kike," prompting a police investigation. In April, another student allegedly told him, "Hitler should have killed all the Jews when he had the chance." The ADL alleges that school and district officials were repeatedly notified of the incidents but failed to take effective action to stop the harassment. The organization is asking federal officials to investigate whether the district violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and to require corrective measures. "The record here is overwhelming: written pleas from the student's parents, formal school reports and a police investigation all point to the conclusion that antisemitic harassment at Southern Hills Middle School was pervasive, escalating and severe," James Pasch, vice president of litigation for the ADL, stated. "No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child's safety at school, and certainly no Jewish student should face the threat of assault or harassment because of their Jewish identity," Pasch said.
Ambassadors of Coexistence initiative concludes 3rd Edition in Abu Dhabi. ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 10th Jun, 2026) Against the backdrop of a distinguished gathering of ambassadors, diplomats, academics, prominent religious leaders, university students, and representatives of leading national institutions, the Higher Colleges of Technology in Abu Dhabi hosted the closing showcase of the Third Edition of the Ambassadors of Coexistence initiative on Monday evening, 8 June 2026. The event was organised by the Manara Centre for Coexistence and Dialogue in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The event underscored, once again, that Abu Dhabi is not merely a political capital but a capital of hope; a city that honours the deep-rooted heritage of coexistence and, through its youth, is actively crafting a brighter future for all of humanity. Opening Remarks Dr. Ali AlNuaimi, Chairman of the Manara Centre for Coexistence and Dialogue, delivered the opening remarks, underscoring the pivotal role that youth play in consolidating the values of coexistence and building bridges of understanding across civilizations, cultures, and faiths. Complementing the showcase was a remarkable accompanying exhibition titled "Paths of Humanity: A Window to a Shared Past Where Civilizations Meet and Rise Together," presented in collaboration with the Crossroads of Civilizations Museum. Ahmed AlMansoori, founder and Chair of the museum, personally guided guests through a rich journey among rare artefacts bearing witness to the depth of human civilizations, and precious religious manuscripts that stand as enduring testimony to the spirit of coexistence that has united peoples of different faiths and cultures throughout history. The exhibition transformed the ideal of coexistence into a lived, tangible experience, a powerful message resonating with attendees from across the globe. Bakhita AlRemeithi, Executive Director of the Manara Centre for Coexistence and Dialogue, drew the event to a close with a reminder that the Ambassadors of Coexistence initiative does not stop at academic research or university projects. It plants in the hearts of young people an unshakeable conviction that real, lasting change begins with individuals. Facebook Twitter Reddit Pinterest Whatsapp
ADL launches leaderboard ranking popular video games on safeguards to combat antisemitism. 'Fortnite' was rated the best at implementing safeguards to combat antisemitism, with 'Grand Theft Auto Online,' 'Call of Duty' and 'Minecraft' following closely behind The Fortnite logo is displayed on a smartphone screen in the Apple app store on March 6, 2026. March 25, 2026 Enter your email to read the full article for free A first-of-its kind leaderboard evaluating how major video game companies address antisemitism and extremism in online games was released on Wednesday by the Anti-Defamation League, Jewish Insider has learned. The leaderboard assessed 10 of the most popular games and their respective companies on their policies and in-game safety features. "Fortnite" was rated the best at implementing safeguards to combat antisemitism, with "Grand Theft Auto Online," "Call of Duty" and "Minecraft" following closely behind. Other major games evaluated included "Roblox," "Valorant," "Clash Royale," "Counter-Strike 2" and "PUBG: Battlegrounds." ADL evaluated the product features of each individual game and the relevant policies that govern that game - for some games, the policies that govern them were specific to the game, while for some it was the company policies that apply to all of their games. The leaderboard, created by the ADL Center for Technology and Society in partnership with the ADL Ratings and Assessment Institute, builds on the annual survey work that CTS did in partnership with gaming analytics firm NewZoo, from 2019-2023. Games received labels of advanced, moderate or limited protections based on criteria including: antisemitism and hate policy; extremism/terrorism policy; in-game display of code of conduct; documentation of escalation to law enforcement; and in-game tooling. The latter criteria, which accounts for 60% of a game's overall score, includes players' ability to block and/or mute other players; players' ability to report players for voice, text, usernames and user-generated content; and the game's prevention of antisemitic and hateful extremist usernames. Bonus points were awarded for clear appeals processes and engagement with ADL, and points were deducted for harmful content on public-facing game stores. The antisemitism watchdog shared detailed findings with each gaming company and invited them to discuss the assessment before the leaderboard's release, to which Epic Games, Supercell and Minecraft responded. Popular online games boast hundreds of thousands of players, with 85% of U.S. teens reporting playing video games in 2024, according to the Pew Research Center. The Pew study found that 80% of all teens think harassment over video games is a problem for people their age, and 41% of those who play them say they've been called an offensive name while playing. The leaderboard comes one year after ADL conducted a study where it asked 15 participants (university students, recent graduates and young adults) to play four leading online games ("Valorant," "Counterstrike 2," "Overwatch 2" and "Fortnite") in one-hour increments with different identities (Jewish and Muslim religious and ethnic identities, as well as in national identities such as Chinese, Mexican and Israeli). It found that almost half of game play experiences included some form of harassment, such as slurs, trash-talking or disrupted play, and one-third included identity-based harassment, such as "gas the Jews" or calling people the "N-word." The ADL said it plans to feature the results in an online Gaming Leaderboard, designed to be a resource that will track how gaming companies manage their online multiplayer ecosystems over time to guide parents, gamers, policymakers and the gaming industry itself. "When a parent wants to know if an online game is safe for their child, there has been no one-stop shop to understand how a particular game approaches online safety," Daniel Kelley, senior director of the ADL Center for Technology and Society, said in a statement. "This leaderboard addresses that critical gap by offering the most comprehensive evaluation of safety measures in online multiplayer games to date, with a focus on how companies manage antisemitism and extremism."
