In 2023, CAIR witnessed the highest number of biased-based complaints in its 30-year history, reflecting an alarming increase in challenges faced by Muslim Americans across various sectors, including higher education. The surge in Islamophobic incidents, linked to the October 7, 2023, attacks and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, has severely impacted Muslim college students. Rather than feeling safe and supported, many have faced suppression of their free speech and have been penalized for opposing Israel’s actions and advocating for Palestinian rights. Unfortunately, this issue is not new, and many universities, administrators, and law enforcement have failed to offer the necessary support, leaving students feeling targeted and isolated.
This is CPHB and CAIR-CA’s second campus climate report, which evaluates the experiences of Muslim college and university students across both public and private institutions in California during the 2023-2024 academic year. This report aims to shed light on the lived experiences of Muslim students and the unique challenges they encounter, often due to their actual or perceived Muslim identities. Additionally, the report provides insight into how the October 7, 2023, attacks and the ongoing genocide in Gaza affected these students’ experiences.
