339 EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
HAVE ADOPTED THE DEFINITION
A key category of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism adoptions has been institutions of higher education, with 339 overall, and 8 colleges and universities worldwide adopted the definition in 2022—from the Nevada Board of Regents, City University of New York, and University of Pittsburg in the United States to the National University of the Arts, National Technological University, and National University of Lujan in Argentina and La Trobe University in Australia.
On rising American campuses experiencing a frequency of antisemitic incidents, there was a nascent shift in 2022 toward adoptions at the administrative level, rather than by student governments—similar to a trend that transpired in the United Kingdom in recent years.
