Episode Details

Concordia Universitys antisemitism subcommittee resigned in December 2025 due to the universitys decision to release only one combined final report for all six task force groups. The subcommittee, led by professor Naftali Cohn, felt their findings would be lost in the combined report. The university maintains that the subcommittee finished their work and submitted everything before resigning. The resignation has sparked heated reactions, particularly from some Jewish faculty who criticized the subcommittees survey for blurring lines between antisemitism and criticism of Israel. Others argue that the survey ignored antisemitism from white supremacist or MAGA angles, missing the full picture of Jewish experiences on campus. Tensions have been further exacerbated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which some critics argue stifles free speech on Israel. As the final STRIVE report takes shape, questions remain on how it will balance these voices without fueling more division and ensuring real campus safety for everyone.
