Harvard University
Excerpt: This is the Final Report of the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias.
This report summarizes the findings of the Task Force’s study of conditions at Harvard University. We gathered oral and written documentation between March and September 2024, and we devoted the rest of 2024 and beginning of 2025 to writing the report. Our work involved meeting with hundreds of students, faculty, and staff in listening sessions for specific segments of the campus community as well as private conversations with individuals. We also met with members of the wider Harvard community, including alumni. In our outreach, we spoke with non-Jews, American Jews, and Jewish and Arab citizens of the State of Israel within the Harvard community.
Nothing like a report about how many Jewish students are discriminated against at Harvard to get the antisemites to circle their wagons in defense, attempting to change the subject to “Israel.”
They obviously haven’t read the report.
What a disgrace. Fraudulently pushing the narrative that protests against genocide is antisemitism. Your other blatant fraud is claiming that “Jewish students don’t feel comfortable on campus.” If you only talk to Ziionist extremist genocide promoters, who are somehow deluded into thinking they are Jews in good standing, and literally NEVER talk with the significant percentage of Jewish students who actively against the genocide, of course you will get that distorted story. That PFS presents itself as an advocate of press speech while engaged in a multi-moth campaign to enable a blatant genocide campaign against civilians on behalf of a foreign country is despicable beyond words. In its current form PFS does not represent free speech, Princetonians or even the interests of American citizens.
By the way, why is that unlike most non-profits, you consistently leave details about your major donors blank on your IRS forms? Yes, technicalities legal permit it. Decency does not. If the major donors are proud of their blank check support of Israeli’s genocide operations, then why don’t they want their names known to the public?
This seems the opposite of free speech; seems this is a “Woke Right” report. It uses Jewish identity and its protection as weapons against criticism of Israel.
Princetonians for Free speech should lambast the producers of this report and those would block circumspection about US and Princeton support for Israel.

Inside Higher Ed
Excerpt: Ages ago, in the 1970s Soviet Union, a Jewish stand-up comedian, Mikhail Zhvanetski, remarked in one of his skits that if you want to argue about the taste of coconuts (not available in the Soviet Union at that time), it’s better to talk to those who’ve actually tried them. If you want to argue about antisemitism in academia, better ask those who have actually experienced it. Ask me.
The U.S. Department of Education is taking seriously a charge of “a pervasive hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty” at George Mason. This is as shocking to me (and to many of my Jewish colleagues at GMU) as hearing that I have broken two legs and never noticed it.

Inside Higher Ed
Excerpt: Six months into his second term, President Donald Trump has forced changes at many of the nation’s wealthiest universities, some of which have shed hundreds of jobs amid federal funding issues and investigations.
While sector layoffs are so frequent that Inside Higher Ed has dedicated monthly coverage to rounding up such reductions, those actions are more common at small, cash-strapped colleges or state institutions reeling from budget cuts. But universities with multibillion-dollar endowments have been among those making the deepest cuts in the first half of 2025, often driven by freezes on federal funding that the Trump administration imposed with minimal notice.
FIRE
Excerpt: Today, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression sued Secretary of State Marco Rubio, challenging two federal immigration law provisions that give him unchecked power to revoke legal immigrants’ visas and deport them for protected speech.
Since March, Rubio and the Trump administration have waged an assault on free speech, targeting foreign university students for deportation based on bedrock protected speech like writing op-eds and attending protests. Their attack is casting a pall of fear over millions of noncitizens, who now worry that voicing the “wrong” opinion about America or Israel will result in deportation.

They are really trying to conflate cricism of Israel and anti-semitism. I mean its in the title! Israel comes up over 1,800 mentions. While they should NOT allow inappropriate protests or anti-semitism. Criticism of Israel or anti-Israel bias is not the same.
They even used an Israeli professor as an example of “anti-semitism”. She wrote an article in the British journal, The Guardian:
“I’m an Israeli professor. Why is my work in Harvard’s antisemitism report?
