A new school year sees revised NYC college policies on antisemitism

Some colleges and universities in New York City are starting the 2024-25 school year with new or revised policies to combat hate and protect students months after campuses were rocked in the spring with violent on-campus protests and acts of antisemitism.

Faculty and staff at major NYC-based universities including Columbia University, City University of New York schools and New York University are stepping up efforts to combat hate and bias incidents on their campuses that surged during the demonstrations and in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel.
