¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Establishes Working Group on Antisemitism

¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ has launched a Working Group on Antisemitism to help ensure that antisemitism is well-understood, effectively prevented, and appropriately addressed across our campuses.Ìý

The Working Group is co-chaired by Associate Professor Alana Klein and Professor Eran Shor. It includes faculty, students and staff, and will base its work on listening to the diverse lived experiences and perspectives of members of the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ community with experiences linked to antisemitism. Its goal is to develop practical, evidence-informed recommendations to strengthen ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµâ€™s policies, practices, and educational efforts in this area.Ìý

The group will:Ìý

  • Review legal, policy, and human rights frameworks relevant to antisemitismÌý

  • Describe how antisemitism is experienced in the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ communityÌýÌý

  • Analyze the interaction between antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and anti-Israeli discrimination in university settingsÌý

  • Explore how academic freedom, freedom of expression, and protection from discrimination intersectÌý

  • Recommend strategies for education, prevention, and responseÌý

Consultations with affected students, faculty, and staff will begin soon, and more information will be shared in the coming weeks.Ìý

This initiative reflects ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµâ€™s ongoing commitment to equity, inclusion, and the well-being of all members of its community. The Working Group will share updates throughout the year and present its final report to the President in Spring 2026.Ìý
