The four-page set of guidelines is a joint effort from the ADL, AJC, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Hillel International and JFNA (…) The guidelines call for university leaders to “anticipate and mitigate disruptions” on the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks in Israel. Other suggestions include: “Clearly communicate campus rules, standards, and policies”; “support Jewish students”; “ensure campus safety”; and “reaffirm faculty responsibilities.” Steps to “support Jewish students,” according to the recommendations, include ones to “prevent discrimination against Jewish students in campus organizations, clubs, and institutions, unequivocally denounce targeting of Jewish student organizations, ensure Israeli students and faculty are welcome, and reject BDS and provide antisemitism education and training for all students.” The four-page set of guidelines is a joint effort from the AJC, Anti-Defamation League, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Hillel International and Jewish Federations of North America. The new recommendations, the Jewish leaders say, is in part an effort to compel universities to enforce their own codes of conduct on campus. “Too many administrations failed to respond effectively,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. The sentiment was echoed by Conference of Presidents CEO William Daroff, who noted that last year saw “numerous incidents of harassment against Jewish students, violent protests and flagrant violations of conduct codes.”
