B’nai Brith Canada has reportedly issued letters to the heads of more than 80 postsecondary institutions across Canada, indicating that it will be monitoring their campuses for antisemitism and urging leaders to ensure Jewish students are protected from hate. The organization also urged institutions to enforce their anti-hate policies and ensure that their Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion protocols include Jewish community members. “The situation during the previous academic year was untenable, and … the status quo cannot be tolerated,” said B’nai Brith Director of Research and Advocacy Richard Robertson. “We provided them with actions that we feel need to be undertaken proactively, in order to ensure campuses remain safe spaces for all of their students.”
