Jewish Population on Campus
The University of Kansas does not have many professors who openly support BDS, nor major antisemitic incidents or active anti-Zionist groups on campus. Jewish life, on the other hand, is thriving: the school has some 1,500 Jewish students, and an active Chabad, AEPi, and Zeta Beta Tau. Chabad organizes popular shabbat meals, while Hillel hosts Happy Hour Shabbats and partners with Birthright to send nearly 40 Jewish students to Israel each year. There are also multiple options for faculty-led and student-initiated study abroad programs in Israel. KU opened a kosher kitchen at a campus dining hall in February, while the basketball stadium even has its own Chabad-run “Kosher Korner” for observant Jayhawks. (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
