Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Authorities in Ontario and California have taken different approaches to managing campus protests and antisemitism. In Ontario, the provincial government is demanding greater accountability from universities to combat antisemitism, following incidents such as the vandalism of mezuzahs. New directives require institutions to report on antisemitism complaints and improve safety training. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed Assembly Bill 2551, which would have increased student input and transparency regarding campus protest rules. Newsom maintained that existing processes are sufficient for campus communities to provide perspective to policy leaders. In Ontario, the issue has expanded into the public school system. Twelve Jewish teachers have filed human rights applications against four school boards and two unions, alleging discrimination and a failure to address antisemitism in the workplace. The applicants claim they were penalized for reporting antisemitic incidents and are seeking damages, as well as the mandate for transparent processes to combat discrimination, including the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-01: Jewish teachers file human rights claims against Ontario school boards Twelve Jewish teachers in Ontario have filed human rights complaints against several school boards and unions, alleging discrimination and a failure to address antisemitism in educational institutions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jewish-teachers-file-human-rights-claims-against-ontario-school-boards ### 2026-09-28: Ontario and California address campus protest and antisemitism policies Governments in Ontario and California are responding to campus unrest and antisemitism through new directives and legislative actions regarding university protest policies and student safety. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ontario-and-california-address-campus-protest-and-antisemitism-policies --- Cite as: Antisemitism policy and legal actions in North America.
