The Canadian government has published the results of the national CASE study, conducted by the Association for Canadian Studies, which revealed widespread antisemitism in higher education institutions. The survey involved 900 students, and 96% of them stated that over the past 12 months they had personally encountered or observed manifestations of antisemitism. 70% blame university administrations for complicity, and 68% no longer consider campuses safe. The authors collected more than 1,200 anonymous testimonies, including cases where professors called Hitler a 'hero' or told students to 'go back to Poland'. Nearly a third (36%) encountered biased materials in lectures, 45% heard distortion or denial of the Holocaust, and in 18% of incidents professors were involved. Due to security threats, 57% of students avoid wearing Jewish symbols, 72% hide their ethnicity, and one in four is considering transferring. The researchers note that the data is based on personal accounts without legal verification, but the picture indicates a systemic crisis.
