SUMMARY:The Rise of Anti-Semitism on Campus: What Can Universities Do To Fight This Trend
DESCRIPTION:
 Brad Isakson, Jewish Studies minor, MSU\n
 \n
 Brad 
 Isakson's research focuses on the resurgence 
 of contemporary anti-Semitism on American campuses. 
 Isakson argues that many of the themes 
 in this "new" anti-Semitism are recycled elements 
 of older tropes, but others deal largely 
 with a hatred of Israel that crosses the 
 line of legitimate criticism into demonization. 
 The US Department of State's "Working Definition 
 of Anti-Semitism," if adopted by universities, 
 would help protect Jewish students while 
 protecting freedom of speech. In the meantime, 
 universities like Michigan State can incorporate 
 education about anti-Semitism into 
 their freshman orientation or mandatory diversity 
 programming. Anti-Semitism needs to be 
 appropriately addressed on campus in order to 
 maintain an open and safe environment for everyone.\n
