  "account": "The Anti-Defamation League has released reports highlighting antisemitism present in various aspects of US college life, from classrooms to curricula and faculty networks. The organization has launched a new Campus Classroom Reporting mechanism to help students, staff, and faculty report incidents and seek support. The reports, Antisemitism Among Faculty and in the Classroom: Trends, Patterns and Institutional Dynamics, and The Faculty Factor: Inside the Networks Driving Anti-Israel and Anti-Zionist Activism on Campus, identified recurring patterns such as pro-terrorism narratives in coursework, extra credit offered for attending anti-Israel rallies, and professors singling out Jewish and Israeli students. The ADL collected data on 1,694 antisemitic incidents in 2024 and 583 in 2025, despite overall public incidents declining. The reports mention professors explicitly recognizing the legitimacy conferred by their titles and how these networks help coordinate faculty participation in protests, sometimes even physically blocking law enforcement.",
  "summary": "\"Universities cannot claim to be addressing antisemitism seriously if they ignore what happens behind the classroom door and inside faculty governance,\" said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.",
