How antisemitism research is failing

Let’s stop arguing about antisemitism and focus on researching it
Since the Bondi Beach terror attack last December, there has been heightened attention on antisemitism in Australia, as evidenced by the ongoing Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. As with any form of prejudice, combating antisemitism requires understanding how it operates, why it persists over time and across populations, and how it can be addressed effectively. And as with all forms of prejudice, these questions cannot be answered without high-quality research.

The New York Times appoints new Brazil bureau chief and correspondent
Posted Wednesday, July 22, 2026 11:20 am International correspondents appeared in more than 120 videos published by The Times last year, putting our reporting from around the world in front of vast new audiences.

WORDS FOR LIVING: Following Jesus changes everything
Throughout life, we are all faced with burning questions that at times cause us to struggle with why we are even here on this planet, such as: “What lake should I fish today that will yield me the record fish I’m looking for?” or “What type of cook should I have on this steak?” (I see you out there you rare steak eaters, lol!) “What five pillows should I buy to add to my already 55-pillow collection in my house?” or “What month of the year would be best to go visit Magnolia where I might get...
WORDS FOR LIVING: The den was not the end
Daniel and the lions den — often a story that makes us think of standing firm in our faith and not relenting in the face of tyrannical rulers — or maybe someone who stared death in the face and laughed — or maybe how God comes through for the ones He loves — or maybe this one man who defied all odds just like his buddies did with the fiery furnace and lived to tell about it.

WORDS FOR LIVING: God sees us and is with us
God sees us and is with us ... Back to school ... that’s what time of year it is! Yet that phrase “Back to school” is pretty loaded. There are all kinds of things that are associated with that — things like anxiety, fear, worry, excitement, joy, nervousness, sadness, stress and so on ... . David was known in scripture as a man after God’s own heart. He was a battle tested leader who in spite of his failures had to be the best king the nation of Israel ever had.
WORDS FOR LIVING: Hope and Healing can be found in salvation
We’re living in interesting times. I think it’s safe to say that for most of us, we haven’t ever lived through a time like we are living in right now. I know for myself there were times over the last two years where I wanted to be saved from the craziness that was/is our world. Whether we realize it or not, we need to be saved- from many things but ultimately from eternal separation from God. That eternal separation includes both now during our lives and throughout all of eternity.

WORDS FOR LIVING: Where I look is where i'll be
It is officially Thanksgiving week! I know that that statement doesn’t necessarily mean something to everyone- for some who will be reading this, there either hasn’t been a lot to be thankful for this year or maybe the holidays don’t have the most positive feelings about them in your world.
WORDS FOR LIVING: Trusting in the gift of mercy
Do you ever remember a time in your life where someone encouraged you to do something that you had never done before or that wasn’t common for you, and you had to decide whether to do it? One of my favorite places to eat is a place called Herradura.
Jesus, the highlight reel
Throughout our lives, while we live in this world, we are going to be drawn to do all kinds of things with our lives. Maybe those things will make you a lot of money or maybe they will make you famous or maybe they will even make you “happy.” Or maybe we will assume things about these things that eventually end up not bringing us anything that we originally thought they would. I believe we are often drawn to these things by other people’s highlight reels.
WORDS FOR LIVING: God sees past our flaws, and wraps us in his love
I’m writing to you today to bring to light a group of people that throughout my childhood brought great confusion to not only me but the world at large. You still exist today, yet often hide in the shadows re-wrapping without our knowledge of it. You know who you are — you are the used wrapping paper conservationist! You gather wrapping paper after people open presents and save it to use again one day! I have so many questions for you — like, What if the next box you wrap is bigger?
WORDS FOR LIVING: Make today the kind of day God intended for you
One of my buddies once penned these words: All you fearful, all you faithful, long forgotten, and ungrateful; count your questions, count your reasons, count your blessings, and your freedoms. It’s all a gift, you can’t forget, its all a gift... You might have everything, you might have nothing, you might have a broken heart, but it’s still running; you count your fortunes, you count your failures, you count your glories, and what’s still yours to give.
WORDS FOR LIVING: Living the life for which we are created
In this life, I often find myself feeling discontent and inconsistent. Between the dreams, goals (unmet and met), family stress, work, and all the things that constantly need to get done just to function in life, I find that it never seems like I’m fully getting to where I want to go. I don’t know if you feel that way or not, but if you do, I have something i’d like to share with you.

Public Colleges Struggle to Respond to Occupy Protests
Berkeley, Calif. Robert J. Birgeneau seemed overwhelmed.

Crosstalk: Plagiarism, Profanity, Fraud, and Design
Plagiarism: A study of 24 million college papers by Turnitin, which makes plagiarism-detection software, finds that college students are most likely to lift copy from Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, and Slideshare.

Via the Scholarly Kitchen, where Phil Davis noted some of the study’s limitations.
More Students Migrate Away From Home
Santa Clara, Calif. A few weeks ago, 30 high-school students and their parents gathered here in a Hilton conference room to listen to an Arizona State University recruiter, who promoted his campus in terms his California audience could understand. “At ASU, you can be outside all year round,” said the recruiter, Brad Baertsch, as images of palm trees and desert mountains flashed behind him.
Map: Where Does Your Freshman Class Come From?
Every two years, a U.S. Education Department survey of colleges and universities collects information about the migration of new full-time students, based on their states of residence when they apply. Use this interactive tool to see these movements in detail during a 16-year period for nearly 1,600 institutions.

Crosstalk: Why Education Start-Ups Fail; First Thoughts on OpenClass
Why Education Start-Ups Fail: Education is a big market for entrepreneurs and investors, but not in the way they often think, writes Avichal Garg. Many entrepreneurs think they can use technology to make education better for a relatively wealthy audience in the United States. They would have more success focusing on making education cheaper for poor Americans or students in Asia, and tempering their goals to grow quickly, Mr. Garg writes.
Startup to Offer Hybrid College Experience to Veterans
San Francisco—Most colleges are underprepared for the wave of veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the largest influx since after the Vietnam War. The same is true of many employers. It’s not that the colleges and companies aren’t looking for veterans, says Gunnar Counselman, the founder and chief executive of Fidelis College. But they often do a poor job of understanding how to attract veterans and help them acclimate to civilian life once they return, he says.
U. of Wisconsin Donor Offers $1 for Each New Twitter Follower
Colleges have done some strange things to get Twitter followers. To name a few: offering a free iPod, creating Twitter accounts for mascots, and promising a full scholarship to the applicant with the best 140-character essay. But the University of Wisconsin at Madison may be the first college to get a donation for increasing its follower count. Through October 3, an alumnus will donate $1 for each new Twitter follower or Facebook “like,” up to $50,000.
Online Search Ads Hijack Prospective Students, Former Employee Says
[This story was updated on September 8.] Last year, James Soloway called hundreds of prospective students per day on behalf of a company that placed advertisements on Google and Bing.

Sprint Sues Blackboard Over Its iPhone and iPad Applications
Wired Campus The latest on tech and education. Sprint agreed to pay Blackboard millions of dollars last year to offer a free mobile version of its popular course-management software that would work over Sprint’s network, but not those of competitors like Verizon or AT&T. Sprint officials reasoned that colleges would flock to the free version of the software, Mobile Learn.
U. of Southern California Mounts $6-Billion Fund-Raising Campaign, a College Record
The University of Southern California announced on Sunday the public start of a seven-year effort to raise $6-billion, the largest campaign ever in higher education.

About $1.5-billion or more will go to capital projects. The campaign, which has already raised $1-billion in a “quiet phase,” will last until 2018.
Apollo to Buy Adaptive-Learning Company for $75-Million
The Apollo Group, which runs the University of Phoenix, announced on Tuesday that it plans to pay $75-million to purchase Carnegie Learning, which develops interactive math instruction that adapts to the needs of individual students.

Colleges Fight Google Ads That Reroute Prospective Students
A few weeks ago, when Jeff Harmon searched on Google for North Arkansas College, an ad appeared next to the results that offered information about the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

Mr. Harmon isn’t really a prospective student—he’s Fort Smith’s director of marketing and communications.
