NEW ANTISEMITISM TRACKER ARRIVES!

2015 Inventory Reveals
302 Acts at 109 Schools in 28 States

AMCHA Initiative is proud to unveil our new database documenting antisemitic incidents that have occurred over the past year, by state and university.

The incidents are organized into three categories: 1) Targeting Jewish Students and Staff; 2) Antisemitic Expression; and 3) Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Activity. Each act is further classified according to the type of antisemitism it exhibits. There is also a dynamic 2016 incident tracker, accessible from the database, that keeps track of current antisemitic activity on hundreds of campuses across the US.

We believe this tool will serve as an important resource for parents, students, donors, community members and researchers. Furthermore, documenting such antisemitic incidents should serve as an important wake up call to university leaders and elected officials about the need to address campus antisemitism promptly and vigorously.

Antisemitism continues to plague our nation’s schools. Just a few examples of the more than 300 incidents that took place nationwide in 2015:
