Your campus. Your rights.
Every college student, no matter who they are, where they come from, or how they identify, has the right to safety and security on campus. But sometimes, figuring out what those rights are can be tough. We’ve got your back.
You have the right to:
1
Full Participation in Student Organizations
You have the right to full and equal participation in student clubs, groups, or other Registered Student Organizations (RSO), regardless of your actual or perceived identity as a Jew, Israeli, or Zionist.
2
Walk Freely on Campus Without Being Targeted
You have the right to walk around campus without obstruction or intimidation, and enter university buildings and spaces without being targeted based on your actual or perceived identity as a Jew, Israeli, or Zionist.
3
Have Your Property Respected
Your personal property must not be damaged or vandalized. This includes your living space and any personal property that you may be carrying with you, and specific Jewish-identified property like a mezuzah.
4
Fair Treatment by Faculty
You have the right to fair and equal treatment by faculty members/instructors, regardless of your actual or perceived identity as a Jew, Israeli, or Zionist.
5
Express Your Views Freely in Academic Settings
You have the right to express your views in classrooms and other academic contexts without fear of marginalization, bullying, or discrimination.
6
Request a Letter of Recommendation
You have the right to request a letter of recommendation from a faculty member if you want to study abroad in Israel without discrimination based on your actual or perceived identity as a Jew, Israeli, or Zionist, or because you want to study in Israel.
7
Attend Classes in Designated Classrooms
You are entitled to classes that are held in a regular classroom, not at the site of campus protests or encampments. Class credit must not be tied to attending protests or any political activities that are not part of the course syllabus.
8
Equal Protection Under School Policies
You have the right to the same level of protection and responsiveness under your school’s codes of conduct or other policies as are afforded to other students.
