I'm physically there and think the Board has done a terrific job. To prove it, here is UVA's report card from the Anti-Defamation League for 2025. https://www.adl.org/campus-antisemitism-report-card/university-virginia.

+1. The Anti-Defamation League report is the gold standard.

+1.

-10000 The ADL is a hot mess. Senior leaders in the org have left because of the pro-Elon Musk, extremely biased direction that the CEO has pulled the org. Their own staff have been quoted as not trusting the research that the ADL has put out. Do you research about the ADL! I cannot emphasize this enough.

The ADL is HELL. They are a joke and no one takes them seriously.

As a Jewish parent of a freshman at an Ivy (i.e. a place where there have been issues with exclusion/harassment of Jewish/Israeli students) my recommendation if this is a concern for you and your student reach out to UVA's Hillel and Chabad. They will answer questions, provide support

you lost me at anti-semitism is a "non-issue." Is your head in the clouds? Hello?

I find it odd that so many of the people who are so concerned about anti-Semitism aren't Jewish. I'm Jewish and the majority of the people I know are mildly upset but think this has all been a gigantic over-reaction and wish Trump et al would just stay out of it.

This includes a lot of prominent Harvard alums, some of whom have kids at Harvard so are very well aware of what is happening there.

Much as MAGA people wish the liberal know-it-alls would stop telling them how to live their lives and what is wrong with them (and I don't disagree with them on this), how about they stay out of our lives? Two wrongs don't make a right.

You are out of line telling other parents this, especially when these protesting college students are proving to be on the right side of history. Israel is committing a genocide, and these students sniffed it a mile away. Your tribalism is smothering your sense of morality.

No. These protesting students are proving to be ignorant. Israel is defending itself in a war Hamas started. If you took the time to look at the numbers you would learn that real genoicide is happening in other places in the world, but NOT Gaza.

Unbelievable you are denying this. UNBELIEVABLE! I mean, there’s a federal investigation going on!

Here you go, antiSemite:

This doesn’t actually refute that the whole thing is BS made up by the Trump administration to go after universities.

The sad thing is, there *is* antisemitism at UVA (and everywhere in America)—from NeoNazis. They walked through Grounds eight years ago chanting “Jews will not replace us,” and Trump defended them. They are even bolder now. Let me know when Trump decides to focus on that.

I’m a Jewish alum, btw.

Exactly. Why any Jewish person believes that Trump is on our side is beyond me.

Anyone who believes Trump supports Jews and claims to be a Jew is not a Jew. My family died in the Holocaust and 9/11 I will never forgive one so called Jew that voted for that POS.

What does this mean? How does this relate to the topic of this thread? What does Trump and being a jew have to do with each other? Did Trump call for the destruction of Israel or the Jewish people? That came from Hamas and some of the foreign-originating Democratic politicians.

The primary genocide is being committed by Hamas on the Palestinian people. And then the American press is dumb enough to believe the propaganda being put out by Hamas.

Utter BS.

Israel warns civilians when it goes after operatives, and Hamas continues to put it's own people in harms way. If you listen to palestinians who are not Hamas, you will learn why it is imperative for the West to defend itself against Jihadism.

Done with genocide? Holding hostages is not a excuse for Israelis to be committing genocide. And the consensus among the vast majority of scholars of genocide, people who have spent decades actually studying the topic (including Israeli scholars!!!), is that Israel is committing genocde. No matter how much it pains you to admit it, Israelis are committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

Again, HAMAS may be committing genocide but Israel is not. Hamas does not care about it's people. They care less than Israel who continues to take steps to warn civilians. Hamas started a war it can easily end, but instead puts it's people in danger. FAFO-- return the hostages!
