Jewish and Muslim college students will be glad to leave this academic year behind

Jewish and Muslim students at U.S. colleges are exhausted as their academic year comes to a close.  

Antisemitism and Islamophobia have both spiked on campuses in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, and the recent anti-war encampments have greatly disrupted student life.

“This year has definitely impacted me academically a lot,” said Shani Glassberg, an Israeli-American and junior at George Washington (GW) University, adding she had to postpone finals due to the unrest on her campus.
