On Monday, the Australian Union of Jewish Students and Zionist Federation of Australia released a survey on the state of antisemitism on Australian university campuses.
Former Lauder Fellow and President of AUJS said, "the data corroborates what I witness on a day-to-day basis. Our universities have glaringly failed Jewish students, making many feel the need to conceal their identity."
According to the report:
- 64% of Australian Jewish university students reported experiencing antisemitism during their time on campus.
-
one-in-five students have actively avoided campus to escape bigotry.
- 57% of Australian Jewish students have hidden their Jewish identity in order to avoid antisemitism
