Last week, the presidents of three prominent universities were grilled by Congress about their lack of action on campus antisemitism. Nationally, antisemitic campus incidents have increased by 700% since Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel. Seventy-three percent of college students have witnessed or experienced antisemitism on their campus this academic year.
Sociologists Frank Dobbin and Alexandra Kalev found that two-thirds of colleges require diversity training of their faculty. Many units in my college have added a diversity, equity and inclusion assessment to our annual evaluation. According to a New York Times report, nearly 50% of large universities require DEI statements of faculty applicants. More than half of students (55.8%) in a recent survey done by the Anti-Defamation League had completed DEI training.
