Columbia antisemitism task force finds professors 'minimized' Jewish student concerns, recommends new anti-bias training

The task force uncovered through nearly 500 student testimonials that Jewish and Israeli students felt unsafe, suffering from "crippling anxiety" due to hostility on campus.

Many students expressed a sense of urgency for faculty awareness, emphasizing that faculty were slow to address harassment and downplayed the severity of their experiences.

The report highlighted a need for Columbia faculty and staff to better understand the real issues surrounding antisemitism on campus and to take decisive action.

The task force's findings indicate that Columbia University must urgently reshape social norms to create a safer, more inclusive environment for all students.
