Thirteen universities in the United States were given failing grades in the 2025 Campus Antisemitism Report Card published by the Anti-Defamation League. The report evaluates 135 universities to present an overview of the current levels of antisemitism on campus and the responses of colleges and universities to this issue.
Universities are graded from A to F based on 30 criteria divided into three main categories: Administrative Policies, Jewish Life on Campus, and Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns.
The 13 universities that received failing grades are: California Polytechnic State University, DePaul University, Evergreen State College, Haverford College, Loyola University New Orleans, Pitzer College, Pomona College, Portland State University, Scripps College, The New School, University of California Santa Barbara, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of Minnesota.
“We are disappointed by the ADL’s assessment. At DePaul University, we condemn antisemitism in all its forms and will continue to stand firm in doing so, in line with our values,” DePaul announced Monday in response to the report.

Eight schools received an “A” in the report card, including Florida International University, the University of Alabama, the University of Miami and Vanderbilt University.
“ADL gave 36 percent of schools an A or B in its 2025 Campus Antisemitism Report Card, up from 23.5 percent in 2024,” the organization said.
“More than 50 percent of the schools assessed in 2024 have enacted major policy changes in response to rising campus antisemitism; almost all have revised their demonstration policies. Universities that strengthen and consistently enforce policies, mandate antisemitism education, and improve bias reporting have seen the most progress,” they added.
Among Ivy League schools, Dartmouth College received a “B” grade, while others, such as Yale and Columbia, received “D” grades.

“I said it last year and I’ll say it again: every single campus should get an ‘A,’ this isn’t a high bar – this should be the standard,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, said in a statement. “While many campuses have improved in ways that are encouraging and commendable, Jewish students still do not feel safe or included on too many campuses. The progress we’ve seen is evidence that change is possible – all university leaders should focus on addressing these very real challenges with real action.”
