USA – Antisemitism continues to surge on College campuses


The Institute for Jewish & Community Research
The Institute for Jewish & Community Research (IJCR) announced the release of The UnCivil University: Intolerance on College Campuses, Revised Edition. The Revised Edition revisits rising levels of campus antisemitism and the corrosion of university norms detailed in the first edition.

Released in 2005, The UnCivil University exposed how American Universities had become politicized institutions; where ideological bias trumps good scholarship, protest drowns out reasoned debate, and stakeholders fail to live up to their responsibilities. Within this environment, the twin ideologies of antisemitism and anti-Israelism have flourished as a prime example of the systemic ills afflicting the university.

The Revised Edition shows that universities have largely failed to reform.
Anti-Israel propagandists continue to target college campuses, and intimidation of Jewish students and faculty go unaddressed. “Jewish and other students are embattled and the university system remains incapable of responding,” explains co-author Aryeh Weinberg. “There is no quick fix to the problem and we have to be careful not to let our concern fall victim to short attention spans.” The findings of the Revised Edition underscore the need for university stakeholders, including the federal government, to fulfill their roles in helping the university reassert its core values.

Free copies of The UnCivil University: Revised Edition is available to members of the media for review. Also, a free downloadable executive summary and a link to purchase the book are available at http://www.unciviluniversity.org/.
