With each new episode, Jewish people have had to become ever more resilient, putting out of mind the latest off-color remark.<\/p>\n<p>But the surge of anti-Semitism on campus demands a deeper level of concern. These incidents aren\u2019t just one-off vulgarities \u2014 they are signs of institutional Jew-hatred.<\/p>\n<p>Students at Tufts University, University of Southern California and UCLA have tried to prevent the election of or remove Jewish undergraduates serving in student government.

Administrators and faculty often subtly or vocally champion these actions, including with institutional support. At Yale Law School, a diversity trainer\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/yale-law-diversity-director-at-center-of-traphouse-controversy-got-an-anti-semite-invited-to-the-yale-law-journal\/\">argued<\/a> that anti-Semitic incidents reported to the FBI were inflated because of \u201can agenda.\u201d At Stanford, a diversity and inclusion program\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2021\/06\/16\/eeoc-complaint-against-stanford-alleges-dei-program-created-hostile-environment\">tried<\/a>\u00a0to argue that anti-Semitism should be excluded from its agenda because Jewish power didn\u2019t necessitate a campus-wide concern about Jewish people.<\/p>\n<p>Even the City University of New York isn\u2019t immune to horrific anti-Semitism scandals. At CUNY Law School, the student government recently<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/diaspora\/antisemitism\/cuny-law-student-govt-passes-pro-bds-resolution-688157\">\u00a0passed a resolution<\/a>\u00a0banning Hillel and other mainstream Jewish clubs. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SAFECUNY\/status\/1525697281328140290?s=20&amp;t=NzT1viTKEEfvW5yRBhoGPg\">The school chose<\/a> a commencement speaker who\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/amid-terror-wave-in-israel-new-york-bds-group-calls-to-globalize-intifada-at-rally\/\">called to eradicate the state of Israel<\/a>. Elsewhere, a CUNY student group\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/forward.com\/fast-forward\/510259\/cuny-group-jewish-students-unlearn-zionism-antisemitism\/\">pledged to create programs to challenge and critique Jews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This institutional anti-Semitism calls to mind the troubling early 1930s in German universities. In 1933, Nazi leadership passed a Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which removed from their posts Jewish civil servants who had not fought in World War I \u2014 including 1,200 university professors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That opened the floodgates for campus anti-Semitism, including student-led action. That same year, students led a mass boycott of Jewish faculty classes, stormed a Jewish fraternity house in Heidelberg and occupied university buildings in Frankfurt, denying entry to their Jewish colleagues. In Baden, students filed complaints with the local Ministry of Education, alleging Jewish students were taking the best classroom seats. Soon, Nazi officials issued a decree that only Gentiles could sit in a classroom\u2019s first row.<\/p>\n<p>We see the echoes of these actions on American college campuses today, which is why university leaders across the country must im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely take steps to ensure the horrors of the past do not repeat themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Leadership can make a difference. Officials can s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> funding, support and space from organizations that promote anti-Semitism, and they can direct resources to hate-crime tip lines, training and audits. In Austin, for instance, University of Texas administrators withdrew their support from the student government and prohibited the use of the university\u2019s name and image. They were responding \u2014 with appropriate seriousness \u2014 to a resolution that ostracized and targeted Jewish students.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Colorado State has made supporting Jewish students a presidential-level priority, with ex-head Joyce McConnell creating a Task Force on Jewish Inclusion and the Prevention of Antisemitism. The goal: to develop a concrete plan for making CSU a Jewish-friendly campus.<\/p>\n<p>These individual examples of courageous and compassionate leadership illustrate a broader and more important point. Anti-Semitism need not be the sort of matter dealt with through after-the-fact regrets and pained press releases. Officials can take preventative action and do more to address Jew-hatred before it becomes institutionally acceptable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As students return to school in the coming weeks, my New Year\u2019s resolution is to ensure our university leaders wake up to the fear and worry of their Jewish students \u2014 and commit to doing something about it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ronald S.
