Review of: Universities and antisemitism

Could use this -- Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org evaluate article

• Improve lede, start with sentence that explains the topic
  • First sentence "antisemitism in universities" does not match title.
  • Title could include the study of antisemitism in universities, Universities combatting antisemitism, etc.
  • "universities have supported antisemitic government or social policies" -- yes. And also subtopic of interest to me and our course: Social movements that have generated, resisted, or leveraged antisemitism at universities
  • This sentence has POV and citation needs to be improve. "Recent" --
    • "In recent years, antisemitism has been increasingly associated with radical leftist and pro-Palestinian extremism on university campuses."
• Structure is purely by chronology and place (location, university)
  • How about a structure that includes subtopics, like
    • types of antisemitism, eg Jewish quotas
    • types of university functions, eg teaching, research, culture impact
    • opposition to antisemitism and research on it, etc.
• The article lacks balance
  • Gaps: University policies and programs to oppose, diminish, research antisemitism
  • 20th + 21st C -- this is mostly a very long reporting of individual incidents, overly detailed (disproportionate), with little or no summarizing, or overview, or analysis of trends and implications (etc) WP:INDISCRIMINATE
    • useful overview paragraph at end of pre-modern section ("However, even when admitted to a university...") and the source is Encyclopaedia Judaica -- which is fine source because that source is a better model than the current WP article. It's also a source for a couple sentences in the 18-19th C section
  • 18th and 19th C -- two short paragraphs, whereas this is a major topic of history and politics, which is also crucial to the history of Jews and of antisemitism
