Why would Northwestern be an anti-semitic campus? The student body is 15 percent Jewish, and Evanston is located in an area with a large Jewish population.

This is often cited as why a campus, neighborhood, country, etc. “cannot” be anti-semitic. Germany in the '30s was anti-semitic despite a large, cultured, and assimilated Jewish population. Campuses that have an anti-semitic element that contributes to the gestalt of the campus are the campuses that have a strong SJP and/or BDS presence. The liberal campuses where Jews have a long history of enrollment are unfortunately the hotbeds of SJP/BDS activity that bleeds into antisemitism.

Here’s a recent article about antisemitism on the campuses with the largest number of Jews:

Anti-Semitic activity on college campuses with the largest Jewish undergraduate enrollment drastically increased during the first half of 2016 compared to the same time last year, reports anti-Semitism watchdog group AMCHA Initiative. … The schools with the largest increase in anti-Semitic activity are Columbia University, Vassar College and the University of Chicago.
