Violence erupts at UCLA amid anti-Israel protests on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
(THE COLLEGE FIX) -- Festering problems with antisemitism came to the forefront on campuses across the nation during the 2023-24 school year, drawing headlines and prompting investigations and lawsuits.
Many Jewish faculty and students say antisemitism has been a problem at universities for a long time, but the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel stirred up more in the United States.
Anti-Israel protests dominated the news, with some turning violent and leading to hundreds of arrests and massive clean-up bills. Meanwhile, classes were canceled and graduation ceremonies disrupted at a number of universities in the spring.
