Dozens of Colleges engaged in consultations with ADL in the month following the release of the Report Card; 89 percent of schools overall engaged with ADL
New York, NY, April 13, 2026 ... ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) today announced that it has issued revised grades for 11 schools following consultations with dozens of the 150 schools assessed in the 2026 ADL Campus Antisemitism Report Card.
Since the initial March 10 release of the 2026 Report Card, ADL’s regional and national campus advocacy teams actively engaged with a substantial number of the assessed institutions to guide them in adopting best practices and policies to combat antisemitism.
As part of these consultations, schools were provided with a grace period until April 10 to implement new policies and submit updated information to inform their report card grade. Overall, these efforts have brought the percentage of schools who have engaged with ADL to inform the report card assessment up to 89 percent (up from 86 percent in March 2026).
The consultations have also resulted in the revision of grades for 11 institutions, reflecting the positive changes made in response to ADL’s recommendations.
“We continue to see progress - more schools are committing to taking steps to improve the campus experience for Jewish students, staff and faculty,” said Shira Goodman, ADL’s Vice President of Advocacy and head of the Ronald Birnbaum Center to Combat Antisemitism in Education. “But this work requires sustained vigilance. Schools must continue strengthening policies, implementing them consistently, and ensuring that Jewish members of campus communities feel safe and supported on campus. This is the bare minimum.”
Following the release of the March 2026 Report Card, a number of universities immediately adopted or implemented new policies and programs, leading to several grade changes.
