Survey of Jewish university students finds widespread antisemitism on campuses

A government-commissioned survey conducted late last year found that the vast majority of Jewish university students experienced or witnessed antisemitism on campuses. The findings indicate widespread hostility targeting Jewish students within higher education institutions.

Prior to the release of the survey results, the Carney government terminated the position of the special envoy on antisemitism. The context of the government commissioning the study highlights institutional attention to the issue of campus discrimination during that period.
