Anti-Semitic incidents on American college campuses nearly doubled in 2015, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported in an audit released on Wednesday, according to JTA.
In addition, the number of anti-Semitic assaults across the country increased by more than 60 percent last year, the organization's audit found.
A total of 90 incidents were reported on 60 college campuses last year, compared with 47 incidents on 43 campuses in 2014. Campus anti-Semitic incidents accounted for 10 percent of the total.
In one incident in January, swastikas were spray-painted on the exterior wall of a Jewish fraternity at the University of California, Davis, on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz from the Nazis.
In another incident which took place in November, students chanted anti-Semitic slogans at a protest at City University of New York's Hunter College in Manhattan after organizers on Facebook called for participants to oppose the school’s “Zionist administration.” READ MORE
