Encampments Realign Jewish Campus Politics

FIRE’s 60,000-student surveys show Jewish Ivy Leaguers’ self-censorship tripled (13%→35%) and 'very liberal' identification plunged (40%→13%) after spring 2024 encampments, while conservative students’ self-censorship fell (55%→31%). Students are roughly split on who started the Oct. 7 war, with liberal non‑Jews far from liberal Jews on blame. Religious Jews report the highest pressure to self‑censor. — This signals a coalition shift among future elites, with Jewish students peeling away from the far left and campus speech pressures refocusing.
