Reed College Takes Historic Step Against Antisemitism | Portland News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Reed College is making historic strides in combating antisemitism after two Jewish students filed complaints detailing harrowing campus incidents, including one involving a rock thrown through her dorm window. In response, the college signed a three-year voluntary agreement requiring annual antisemitism and Islamophobia training, appointing a dedicated staff member to handle complaints, and bringing in an outside consultant. It will now apply the IHRA definition of antisemitism and treat targeting Jewish people or Israelis based on their connection to Israel as national origin discrimination — without banning criticism of Israel. The reforms, hailed as comprehensive and groundbreaking, aim to balance free expression with a safe, inclusive environment — setting a new standard for campus accountability.
