Following Hamas's Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, universities in the United States became a hotbed for antisemitic protests.
College students discovered their stance against Israel was not without consequences in 2023.

Numerous company executives, including billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, slammed and vowed never to hire the members of Harvard University student groups who signed an anti-Israel letter.
In November, Durham College, a public college in Ontario, Canada, disavowed the pro-Hamas comments of student Sahar Shehadeh, who proudly supported the terrorist organization.
"Very, very proud. [I] would love it if they do it again," Shehadeh said in a social media post.
The university responded, "Durham College unequivocally condemns the inflammatory statements made in this video and does not tolerate antisemitism."
From October through November, conservative group Accuracy in Media organized mobile billboard trucks to circle the campuses of Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and George Washington University while listing the names of students they believed to be antisemitic on the trucks.
Students were outraged and called on university administrations to investigate the organization. Some activists placed swatting attempts on the organization's Jewish leader, Adam Guillette.
In November, Columbia University protesters took on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, now a professor at the school, by organizing numerous class walkouts and heckling her during class regarding her stance on Israel.
The students chanted loudly at her: "Hillary, Hillary, you can't hide! You're supporting genocide!"
Blowback over antisemitism affected the administrators at the top of various universities differently.
University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned in December amid criticism over her testimony at a congressional hearing in which she wouldn't say under repeated questioning that calls on campus for the genocide of Jews violated the school's conduct policy.

Harvard President Claudine Gay, who attended the same hearing, struggled to answer antisemitism questions and received calls for resignation. Unlike Magill, Gay gained the unanimous support of Harvard's highest governing body and kept her job.
"As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay's continued leadership of Harvard University," the statement from the Harvard Corporation said. "Our extensive deliberations affirm our confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing."
