Overview
- No Ivy League school received an F; Columbia, Princeton and Yale rose from D to C, Penn moved to B, Harvard and Cornell held at C, and UCLA climbed from D to B.
- The ADL awarded 23 A grades and issued four Fs, with Evergreen State College, Scripps College, California State University–Los Angeles and The New School failing.
- The ADL reported that 89% of graded institutions engaged in the assessment by providing documentation on their antisemitism responses.
- Universities that settled civil-rights cases with the Trump administration mostly saw higher marks — including Columbia, Brown, Penn and Virginia — though Cornell remained at C despite a $60 million payout.
- Despite policy gains, incidents persisted this academic year, including a breach of a Pomona College memorial event and swastika graffiti at Michigan State’s Chabad center, alongside surveys showing widespread fear and self-censorship among Jewish students.
