In an April 11 Instagram post,  Brandeis University announced their pride in being named one of two universities “nationwide to receive an A grade on the @adl_national’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card,” with Elon University being the only other school to receive an A. The Anti Defamation League’s campus antisemitism report card is meant to be used as a tool to measure the amount of antisemitism on university and college campuses, as well as how the respective schools respond to antisemitism.

In the Instagram post, the University also commented on the beliefs of Brandeis’ founders, expressing the “founders knew that hate often begins with but rarely ends at antisemitism” and reaffirmed their previous convictions to continue supporting “Jewish students, faculty, and staff” during times “when some campuses are struggling to protect those members of their communities.”  

This recognition was mentioned during an April 12 faculty meeting where President Ronald Liebowitz expressed that “it was nice to get that recognition” for being “one of two schools out of 85 in the country that received those grades” to get an A.
