Abstract:

The authors explore the expressions of anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism on college campuses. They find that intolerance is often propagated by a vocal minority of extremists and largely ignored by university officials. They call for reform including a higher level of accountability and prohibition of prejudice in higher education.
