Universities: Antisemitism

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what data she holds on the number of antisemitic incidents on university campuses in the academic year 2025/26.

Answer

The Community Security Trust (CST) collects and publishes data on antisemitic incidents, including those on university campuses.

The most recent CST data, set out in its Antisemitic Incidents Report 2025 published February 2026, recorded 78 university‑related antisemitic incidents in 2025, a 41% drop from 133 in 2024, but still significantly above levels recorded before October 2023. CST will publish data for 2026 in due course.
