A House Republican report labeled campus antisemitism a 'systemic problem,' spurring calls for investigations and policy responses at U.S. colleges. The report and related hearings highlight concerns about campus climate, external speakers, and complaint processes, and will drive further scrutiny from Congress and state officials. Across the Atlantic, a UK report and parliamentary debate raised alarms that antisemitism is becoming normalized on university campuses, citing student survey data and reports of discriminatory housing preferences and public justifications of extremist violence. UK peers urged new guidance and training for staff and improved complaint and safeguarding mechanisms. Higher education leaders in both countries now face pressure to strengthen incident reporting, support services for targeted students, and external communications. Legal teams and compliance officers should prepare for heightened oversight and potential changes to external-speaker policies and campus safety funding.
