New York, NY — Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF), the nation's leading alumni network combating antisemitism and anti-Zionism on college campuses, today released its 2025–2026 Impact Report, documenting a year of record reach and concrete victories for Jewish and pro-Israel students across the country.

Now more than 80,000 members strong across 87 chapters in 25 states, ACF mobilized members nationwide to hold universities accountable, support students facing hostility, and recognize the few campus leaders who did the right thing.

"This was the year we turned pressure into progress," said Avi D. Gordon, Executive Director of Alums for Campus Fairness. "Across the country, alumni demonstrated that their voices matter. Whether advocating for university leaders who stood up for Jewish students, stopping dangerous campus initiatives, or responding rapidly to incidents of antisemitism, our members proved that organized alumni can create meaningful change. This report reflects not only what we've accomplished, but the growing movement behind this work."

Key highlights from the report include:

• Record reach: More than 80,000 alumni now united through 87 active and developing chapters across 25 states.
• Measurable wins: ACF addressed more than 50 campus incidents, with outcomes including the resignation of Northwestern President Michael Schill following ACF engagement; Smith College trustees rejecting an SJP divestment proposal; ACF members rallied behind Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff; and the cancellation of a terror-glorifying event at Vassar College.
• Grassroots power: More than 25,000 direct alumni actions —  petitions, letters, meetings, digital advocacy — alongside over 1,000,000 social media engagements.
• Innovation: Continued expansion of ACF's groundbreaking Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) initiative, partnering with student-athletes to promote inclusion and combat antisemitism. Jewish nonprofit to partner with student-athletes to promote inclusion and combat antisemitism.
• Celebrating leadership: The launch of The Honor Roll: Champions Against Campus Antisemitism, recognizing presidents and chancellors who stood up for Jewish and pro-Israel students.
• Deepening commitment: The introduction of ACF's Ambassador Program, giving dedicated alumni a direct role in shaping the organization’s national strategy.

Through grassroots initiatives, digital campaigns, direct outreach, coalition-building, and engagement with university leadership, ACF has reinforced the critical role alumni play in protecting Jewish and pro-Israel students and promoting accountability in higher education.
