Trump College Crackdown Cut Antisemitism by 66%
But the ADL is trying to take the credit

When the Trump administration began its crackdown on campus antisemitism that had proliferated when it was backed by deans and faculty members, many liberal Jewish groups were uncomfortable with the blunt confrontational style of the White House and members of Congress like Rep. Elise Stefanik. Now the numbers are in and they’re undeniable.

Even the ADL is forced to report that antisemitic incidents on campus have massively declined.

The ADL’s latest report notes that assaults nationwide were “higher than ever before” in 2025 with 6,274 incidents of antisemitic harassment, vandalism & assault, while at the same time campus incidents are way down.

Even while things were getting worse everywhere else, “incidents decreased most significantly on college and university campuses, by 66% (from 1,694 to 583)”, “antisemitic incidents related to anti-Israel protests, including encampments, decreased by 83%” and “vandalism and assault incidents on college campuses also dropped steeply, by 51% and 72%, respectively.”

I'm sure it pained them to admit, however indirectly, that Trump's actions have been effective. Especially after Trump being falsely accused - and the falseness exposed - in 2016 and 2017 of causing/inspiring threats against synagogues and Jewish Community Centers.

🚨 UPDATE: D.E.I. Strikes Back.
In April, Duke University's 'Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)' were suspended from campus after promoting their meeting using images from a Black Panther newspaper that depicts Zionist Jews as pigs.

Until....D.E.I. stepped in.

Sharon Gooding is the 'Associate Vice President for Institutional Equity, Equal Opportunity and Compliance. *cough, D.E.I.*
She has reversed the suspension of the SJP chapter, restoring the rabidly antisemitic club's recognized status and unfreezing its funding. Yep, this student group gets a chunk of your tax dollars.

Gooding claimed that while the flyer MAY be "offensive" to some (she means Jews), and alluded to "antisemitic tropes," there was "insufficient information to support the existence of a hostile educational environment."

American taxpayers give Duke roughly $1 billion a year, yet one woman in their D.E.I. office holds enough influence to overrule the institution itself
