• The Union of Jewish Students has published best practice guidance for universities and students’ unions on supporting Jewish students and tackling antisemitism 
• Following UJS’ landmark Time for Change report, the guidance lays out the steps institutions should take to support their Jewish communities 
• The guidance covers four core areas: inclusion, education, policies and processes, and response 

Today, the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) is calling for urgent cross-party action to combat antisemitism on campus following the publication of its landmark Time for Change report.
The findings show:

• Antisemitism is normalised on campus - 1 in 5 students (20%) would not be open to house sharing with a Jewish student.
• Glorification of terror is prevalent and unpunished - Half of students (49%) have seen Hamas and Hezbollah glorified on campus, and 47% have seen the October 7th attacks justified.
• Students are tired of disruptive protest - students broadly disapprove (69%) of protests that disrupt their learning.
