The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has filed a civil rights complaint against the University of Massachusetts–Amherst (UMass–Amherst), alleging that the state college has condoned and, at times, fostered a violent, anti-Semitic climate on campus.
“UMass–Amherst has permitted numerous anti-Semitic incidents to occur on campus with impunity. While we do not have information demonstrating that all the incidents were reported, they all are widely known on campus, and speak to the climate of anti-Semitic harassment that has become commonplace at UMass–Amherst,” the complaint states.
