Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Florida International University (FIU), and the University of Miami all received "A" grades from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for their efforts to combat antisemitism. Notably, FIU's grade was before an anti-Semitic and racist group chat, which included FIU's Turning Point chapter president, was exposed by The Floridian earlier this month.
The ADL shared its findings of how U.S. colleges and universities handled the rising threat of antisemitism in 2025 and their response to the growing hatred on campus in an annual report card released this week. According to the ADL, 23 schools received an "A" grade, 64 received a "B" grade, 51 received a "C grade, 8 received a "D" grade, and 4 received an "F" grade out of 150 schools based on 32 criteria, seperated by ‘Publicly Disclosed Administrative Actions,’ ‘Jewish Life on Campus’ and ‘Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns.'
