NYT says universities already curb antisemitism, so no need for more safeguards for Jews on campus. Jewish students disagree, but who cares what they think?

Here is the original headline in a New York Times article today (since changed):

The headline's implication is that there is no need for an executive order protecting Jews on campus, since universities already did the work.

Problem solved!

The headline now reads, "Trump Order Pushes Universities to ‘Monitor’ Protesters on Student Visas," someone must have noticed that the headline downplayed Jew-hatred on campus. Or maybe the New York Times realized that this headline did not work too well with another story that came out today.

The ADL and Hillel International released a survey today of college students that found:

* 83.2% of Jewish college students surveyed have experienced or witnessed some form of antisemitism since the October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.

*More than a quarter (27.3%) of Jewish students surveyed said they had observed antisemitic activity by faculty.

* 66.2% of Jewish and 60.1% of non-Jewish student were not confident in their university’s ability to prevent antisemitic incidents.

* Less than half (49.6%) of Jewish students reported feeling “very” or “extremely” comfortable with others on campus knowing their Jewish identity and only 26.7% felt comfortable with others on campus knowing their views of Israel.

* An overwhelming majority of students (92.5%) who had reported witnessing or experiencing an incident of antisemitism on campus did not report the incident to campus authorities. 

Even worse, Jews report that other students try to gaslight and "goysplain" them by saying that what they are experiencing isn't antisemitism.

[N]early a third (32%) of Jewish students surveyed said that they had been told by non-Jews what is or is not antisemitism. Nearly half (49.5%) of non-Jewish students surveyed at least somewhat agreed with the idea that Jews weaponize antisemitism to stifle criticism of Israel, while a similar proportion (44.2%) at agreed with the statement that Israelis intend to cause as much suffering to Palestinians as possible. Endorsement of such statements was associated with statistically significant decreases in perceived anti-Jewish hostility on campus, underscoring the point that higher levels of antisemitic attitudes on campus perpetuate a gaslighting effect wherein the problem of anti-Jewish prejudice on campus is consistently minimized.  

  
Is this what Jewish privilege looks like? 

Is this what the New York Times thinks is an adequate response to campus antisemitism?
