flag Columbia’s task force finds systemic antisemitism, urging faculty diversity and syllabus transparency.

flag Columbia University’s antisemitism task force released a 70-page report detailing systemic antisemitism on campus, including faculty and graduate instructors using courses in unrelated subjects to promote anti-Israel rhetoric, label Jewish and Israeli students as "occupiers" or "murderers," and employ dehumanizing language. flag The report, based on hundreds of student testimonies, found a lack of non-anti-Zionist tenure-track faculty in Middle East studies, leading to a curriculum that often treats Zionism as illegitimate. flag Students reported being singled out, pressured ideologically, and discouraged from disclosing their identity. flag The task force urged Columbia to hire more diverse faculty and disclose political content in syllabi, while the university maintained its commitment to academic freedom despite a $221 million federal settlement.
