Some Colorado colleges’ antisemitism responses received mixed reviews, according to a recent study. 

The Anti-Defamation League compiled its third annual “Campus Antisemitism Report Card,” an evaluation that ranks colleges according to their antisemitism responses, and found low grades among two Colorado schools. Four Colorado schools were included in the study.

Colorado College and Colorado State University each received a “C” grade, according to a news release. The University of Colorado Boulder scored a “B,” alongside the University of Denver.

Officials at Colorado College and Colorado State University did not respond to a request for comment by The Denver Gazette.

The ADL report does not provide extensive details about the grading system. The news release explained that some low grades result from “gaps in enforcement, limited transparency, or the absence of durable systems to support Jewish life on campus.”

For example, CSU received a “below expectations” for “Publicly Disclosed Administrative Actions.”

California State University Los Angeles, the University of North Texas, and The New School in New York received some of the lowest grades in the report.

The 2026 report card evaluated 150 colleges and universities based on areas such as “administrative policies, Jewish life on campus, campus conduct and climate concerns,” according to the release. Former college presidents, current students, and Jewish organization representatives influenced the campus report card’s assessments, according to the release. 

“Overall results show a clear upward trend,” study authors said in the release.

The ADL seeks to “shine a light on all forms of antisemitism and empower individuals and communities with tools” to address it, according to its website. Colleges and universities influence the nation’s overall response to antisemitism, according to the organization, and the ADL continues to fight antisemitic behavior among U.S. colleges.

Colleges with top antisemitism responses rose to 58% in 2026. Some of the highest-ranking universities in the country include New York University, Temple University, and American University.  

“Institutions showing the greatest gains tended to adopt clearer antisemitism definitions, expand training, formalize accountability structures, enforce policies consistently and integrate antisemitism into broader non-discrimination and campus safety frameworks,” the release said.  

“Some of the strongest gains are coming from institutions that have engaged deeply with our recommendations,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in the release.
