Antisemitism has risen over campuses across the country over the past few years, in particular on the West Coast as many in the "progressive" community view Israel as a colonial, racist, aggressor.  Hence, many programs/displays/student government motions have targeted Israel which flirts and often crosses the line of antisemitism.  Many Jewish students have cited cases of bullying.  That being said, I NEVER encountered antisemitism as a student but that was 25 years ago.  Stanford has always had a much lower percentage of Jews than the Ivies given the proximity to the NYC area for the latter.  There are movements among the student population to divest there, but they have always failed.
