The Jewish Academic Alliance of BC submitted a report titled “Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Hostility at British Columbia Universities” to the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights’s examination of antisemitism in Canada. The report details the hostile work environment faced by Jewish faculty and staff at BC universities including targeted intimidation and harassment that directly threaten their ability to
teach, conduct research, and participate fully in campus life. The brief outlined some of the incidents that make for a hostile and at
times dysfunctional work environment for Jewish faculty and staff at BC universities and draws lessons for how to combat antisemitism at universities.
