About this listen

Antisemitism at Yale University has become a significant concern, particularly following the October 2023 Hamas attacks. Jewish students have reported increased hostility, including verbal harassment, physical intimidation, and exclusion from campus events. These incidents have prompted federal investigations, administrative actions, and widespread debate over the balance between free speech and campus safety. Yale's response has been influenced by federal scrutiny. In April 2025, the university revoked the student organization status of Yalies4Palestine, a group involved in recent pro-Palestinian demonstrations, citing violations of university policies. The U.S. Department of Education's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism praised this decision. However, some students and faculty argue that Yale's actions were motivated more by the threat of federal funding cuts than by a commitment to addressing antisemitism. Over the last week, Yale has once again been in the news as pro-Palestinian students harassed and intimidated Jewish students during Holocaust Remembrance Day, highlighting the dangerous repeat of history flourishing on American campuses.
