Today CST publishes our new report 'Campus Antisemitism In Britain 2018-2020' 👩‍🎓 that shows a much higher level of university antisemitic incidents than previously reported, following a sustained drive by CST’s campus team to encourage students to report
cst.org.uk/news/blog/0000…

This infographic 👇 summarises the statistics outlined in depth in the report. Behind every statistic is a student whose uni experience has been negatively impacted by anti-Jewish hatred directed against them.
Sometimes this has been made worse by their university's response

In one example, a Jewish student at the University of Warwick was subjected to a disciplinary complaint by academic staff after he reported comments made by a lecturer. The complaint against the student was later dropped with no action taken.

Institutions often fail to understand how hard it is for a student to challenge antisemitic views of a lecturer as expressed in a lecture theatre in front of their peers.
There are expectations of discretion imposed on students that weren't imposed on staff.

We recorded 15 cases in which an organisation or speaker associated with antisemitic views in the past was invited to speak on campus.
These don’t fit our strict definition of an antisemitic university incident, and therefore aren't included in the total of 123 incidents

CST found a variety of responses to student complaints about antisemitism across universities, some show flaws in universities’ complaints procedures and practices.
Case studies in our report show good practice from the @Uni_of_Essex, and poor from the @Warwickuni and @bristoluni

Hopefully this report will serve to highlight the problems Jewish students are facing on campus and enable universities to get to grips with the issues outlined in their processes.
