Columbia ranked as worst college in US for Jewish students

Columbia University is the worst college in the United States for Jewish students, a report concludes.

The Morningside Heights school racked up more anti-Semitic and anti-Israel-related incidents than any other college in 2016, according to the Jewish publication The Algemeiner.

Thirty-two anti-Semitic incidents were reported last year at the Ivy League institution, where 14 anti-Israel student groups were formed and 127 professors — about 19 percent of the faculty — publicly supported the boycott of Israel, the publication claimed.

Algemeiner Editor-in-Chief Dovid Efune said the first annual list of “the 40 worst colleges for Jewish students” was based on four months of research. The publication created a points system to rate students’ experiences and show a “rising hostility faced by Jewish students on campuses.”

“The biggest predictor [of anti-Semitic incidents] is the [on-campus] presence of a Students for Justice in Palestine group,” Efune added.

New York University ranked ninth worst on the list.

Columbia did not return calls seeking comment.
