One alumni voice. Countering Bigotry.

Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF) harnesses the unique power of alumni to counter antisemitism, including demonization of Israel and other forms of bigotry at universities. In the face of unprecedented attacks on Jewish and Zionist students, staff and faculty, ACF’s network acts to address acts of antisemitism on campus and ensure that universities remain pillars of truth and academic freedom. ACF members proactively engage with the administration at their alma maters to prevent discrimination, promote open dialogue, and foster respectful debate.

Penn State’s student government unanimously passed a resolution adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, joining a growing number of schools and organizations to do so. The student government also passed a resolution earlier last month to fight antisemitism on campus.

“Penn State is not immune to the disease of antisemitism,” the first resolution stated. There have been “17 [antisemitic events] at Penn State between the years 2001 and 2018.”

We strongly support these resolutions by Penn State’s student government and call on other universities to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism. The IHRA definition is one of the best tools to combat antisemitism, and its widespread adoption will be an excellent antidote to bigotry on campuses. ... See MoreSee Less

Idaho and West Virginia’s state governments passed laws outlawing businesses that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The laws state that public entities cannot do more than $100,000 worth of business with companies that do not oppose the BDS movement.

Thirty-three states now have similar laws to counter the BDS movement on the books. A 2019 federal law gave states legal permission to introduce anti-BDS legislation.

We strongly support this move by Idaho and West Virginia and urge every state that has not yet done so to pass similar legislation. Governments and organizations must do everything in their power to halt BDS’ hate and bigotry. ... See MoreSee Less

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is set to have a new dorm created specifically for Jewish students as a partnership between the university and the school’s Chabad. The move comes following several antisemitic incidents at the school in the past year, including the student government passing a resolution supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.

“If there’s one place on campus you want to be comfortable, it’s at least where you go to sleep at night,” said the school’s Chabad Director Rabbi Dovid Teichtel.

We are pleased that Jewish and Zionist students at UIUC will gain an important gathering place on campus. However, this is just a first step toward ensuring Jewish students’ safety. Given the school’s recent experiences with antisemitism, UIUC must take further steps to rid its campus of hatred and bigotry. ... See MoreSee Less

A very sad day that Jewish students are so discriminated against that they have to have their own dormitory to be safe!! Shame on those who are anti semitic!!😡

Shame on this college for not doing better to solve the problem.and shame on the police

Are they gonna call it the UI Ghetto?? This is not the way to stop it. We are regressing.

Which begs the question: is a Jewish-designated dorm going to be more easily targeted?
