Report Indicates Elevated Antisemitic Incidents Persist at UK Universities

A new report by the Community Security Trust (CST) indicates that antisemitic incidents at UK universities in 2025/26 are significantly higher than pre-October 7, 2023 levels, though down from the peak immediately following that date. The report also documented the first instances of "extreme violence" on campuses and noted staff involvement in some incidents. UK Education Secretary Lucy Powell called the findings "deeply troubling," urging universities to maintain a zero-tolerance approach to address these persistent concerns about campus safety and antisemitism.
