Campus Classroom Reporting
Confidential support for concerns about antisemitism and biased content related to Jews and Israel in college and university classroom experiences, instructional framing, assignments or faculty conduct.
If you encounter antisemitism or biased content in your college or university classroom experiences, ADL is here to help. Campus Classroom Reporting is designed to help students and other members of campus communities identify and confidentially report concerns about antisemitism or biased content related to Jews and Israel in classroom settings, course materials, assignments, discussions, or faculty conduct.
This resource provides guidance on what types of incidents should be reported, why reporting matters, and how submitted information can help address concerns and inform broader efforts to combat antisemitism. It is intended to encourage reporting by helping users understand the process and connect with ADL's broader incident reporting system and support resources.
How Our Reporting Mechanism Can Help You
Our incident reporting mechanism can help if you want to:
- Report a concern about antisemitism or biased content related to Jews or Israel in classroom experiences, instructional framing, assignments or faculty conduct.
- Ask whether a specific classroom dynamic, course requirement or interaction may raise antisemitism concerns.
- Talk through a situation involving Jews, Jewish identity or Israel before deciding whether to make a formal complaint.
- Get help understanding what support options are available.
Examples of concerns you can raise:
- Classroom discussions or instructional framing that appear to single out, stereotype or unfairly characterize Jews or Jewish identity.
- Course materials, readings or assignments that present biased or one-sided portrayals related to Jews or Israel.
- Faculty conduct that you believe may reflect antisemitic bias.
- Classroom environments where discussion of issues related to Jews or Israel becomes hostile, exclusionary or intimidating.
- Grading, feedback or evaluation that you believe may be biased against you based on your views or identity related to Jews, Jewish identity or Israel.
- Uncertainty about whether a situation involving Jews or Israel is inappropriate, discriminatory or something that should be documented.
How to Submit a Concern or Request
Our ADL.AI: Incident Reporting Assistant will guide you through the process of reporting concerns or incidents.
What to Expect from the ADL Team
You do not need to be certain that antisemitism has occurred in order to reach out.
When you submit a concern or request guidance, an ADL team will:
- Listen and assess: We will help determine the nature of the concern, including whether it may involve antisemitism or biased content related to Jews or Israel.
- Provide guidance: We can help you understand whether the issue may raise concerns about antisemitism and what kinds of support may be available.
- Help with triage and referral: Where appropriate, we may refer you to the right office or resource for additional support, review or formal reporting.
Confidentiality: The reporting mechanism is intended to provide a confidential space for support and inquiry. If you would prefer your report to remain confidential, please let us know and we will respect that preference to the fullest extent possible. In those cases, information will only be shared on a need-to-know basis to respond appropriately, comply with applicable policies, or address serious safety or legal concerns.
What Information Should I Include?
It may be helpful to include:
- The course name and department.
- The date or approximate timeframe.
- A description of what occurred.
- Any relevant assignment language, course materials or communications.
- Whether you are seeking guidance, informal support or formal follow-up.
You may still contact us even if you do not have all of this information. If this is an immediate safety emergency, contact campus security or emergency services.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. This reporting mechanism is available for you to raise questions and share uncertainty. You can reach out to discuss a situation even if you are unsure how to categorize it.
Yes. University staff and college faculty who need guidance about classroom incidents or concerns related to antisemitism or biased content involving Jews or Israel may also use this resource.
Once you submit a report, the ADL Campus team will review the information you provide alongside the relevant ADL regional office. They may offer guidance, help you understand your options, and use the information to identify broader patterns of antisemitism or biased content in university classrooms.
Reports cannot be submitted anonymously, but reports can be kept confidential if that is your preference. If you would prefer not to be contacted after submitting your report, you can indicate this on the reporting form. Your information will still help the ADL monitor trends and respond to concerns about antisemitism and bias in the classroom. For more information on how ADL uses personal information, please read ADL’s Privacy Policy.
ADL provides this reporting mechanism to ensure that members of campus communities have a clear, supportive place to turn when concerns about antisemitism or biased classroom content arise.
