Jewish individuals experienced systemic antisemitism in the 1970s Soviet Union, evident in strict admission quotas restricting Jewish students in universities. One individual, a Jewish high school graduate, was denied admission despite excellent test scores due to a quota limiting Jewish students to 2 percent. Even after obtaining education, job opportunities were compromised as hiring Jews posed risks to institution directors. Antisemitic sentiments influenced higher education admissions, with officials deliberately avoiding Jewish candidates, highlighting pervasive discrimination within the academic framework of the time.
When I was officially admitted and walked into the official's office, they looked like they were going to have a heart attack. This was antisemitism.
I was denied entry. I knew why. The unwritten but strict quota was that Jews could make up no more than 2 percent of freshmen.
I could not find one. In part, this was because institute directors knew they could be disciplined if they hired Jews who then applied to emigrate to Israel.
It's better to talk to those who've actually tried them. If you want to argue about antisemitism in academia, better ask those who have actually experienced it.
