Does D.E.I. Help or Hurt Jewish Students?
Briefly

Following significant anti-Israel protests on campuses, many universities discovered a rise in antisemitism, linking it partially to D.E.I. programs. Task forces from institutions like Stanford, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania reported Jewish students feeling marginalized by initiatives designed to promote inclusivity, citing a focus on racial and ethnic groups while neglecting Jewish concerns. The findings suggest a critical reevaluation of how Jews are represented in diversity discussions, with many Jewish leaders advocating for their inclusion in such programs to address rising antisemitism effectively.
Reports from Stanford, Columbia, and University of Pennsylvania found that Jewish students sometimes felt excluded by D.E.I. programs, rather than protected by them.
Many Jewish campus leaders and students argue that D.E.I. programs have focused primarily on Black, Hispanic, and other groups, overlooking the antisemitism faced by Jewish students.
