Credit Points for Antisemitism: The Report Exposing What Happens Inside US Universities

A new Anti-Defamation League study reveals organized networks of lecturers at leading US universities, such as Stanford and Berkeley, that have turned classrooms into arenas of antisemitic abuse. The report documents patterns of one-sided presentation, support for terrorism, incentives to participate in protests, and the singling out of Jewish students. The League is launching a new confidential reporting mechanism.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has published a new study claiming that organized networks of lecturers at leading US universities, such as Stanford and Berkeley, have turned classrooms into arenas of antisemitic abuse. The report, published on August 18, 2026, documents recurring patterns: one-sided presentation of reality that blurs the line between education and activism, the introduction of narratives supporting terrorism into curricula, including reading materials by leaders of known terrorist organizations such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and academic incentives pressuring students to align with a particular stance, such as granting extra credit for participating in anti-Israel protests. The report also documents the marking and singling out of Jewish and Israeli students in the classroom, and actions by academic governing bodies supporting BDS. Concurrently, the ADL is publishing an investigation into organized networks of faculty members driving anti-Israel activism, and is launching a new confidential reporting mechanism called Campus Classroom Reporting (CCR). Oren Segal, senior vice president at the League, said the hostile campus environment is not accidental but the result of organized and well-funded networks.
