Join us for a virtual talk on

Jews, Ivies, & Antisemitism: The American Dream on Trial

Thursday, March 20 - 7:30 pm on Zoom

Featuring Mark Oppenheimer, PhD, Professor at the John Danforth Center of Religion & Politics at Washington University in St. Louis

About 100 years ago, Columbia University pioneered anti-Jewish admission measures, which quickly spread around other Ivy League colleges.  Ever since, the welcoming of Jews has been a litmus test for the openness of a college campus—never more than today. 

Come learn about the history of Jews in higher education, from the alleged quotas of a century ago, through the sense of unease after the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. 

 Free & open to all Park members & the community.
