DAVIS – UC Davis has been named one of the most anti-Jewish colleges in America by the nonprofit advocacy group Stop Antisemitism.
The group gave UC Davis an “F” final grade, citing the university’s “failure to condemn rising antisemitism on campus” after the Oct.7, 2023 attacks on Israel.
According to their numbers, Stop Antisemitism said 81% of Jewish students have experienced antisemitism at UC Davis – with 93% of Jewish students reporting to the group that they do not feel safe expressing their identity.
In a statement, a university spokesperson noted that UC Davis has been forceful in combating antisemitism — citing Chancellor Gary S. May’s statement in the immediate wake of the outbreak of violence in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
UC Davis also noted that they take complaints of antisemitism seriously.
“When the university receives a complaint of antisemitism or other offensive behavior, it immediately reaches out to the affected parties to provide support and resources, and reviews the allegations under the university’s anti-discrimination policy,” UC Davis said in a statement.
