- The publication cited specific examples at Princeton and Stanford, where courses allegedly presented contested political claims as historical fact and assigned readings from designated terrorist organizations.
- ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt announced the new Campus Classroom Reporting mechanism, a confidential channel allowing students and staff to surface concerns regarding classroom-based bias.
