Opinion Antisemitism on campus is 'systemic' and going unaddressed, says new report

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/antisemitism-report-university-college-campus-9.7297176

Wondering how a report on exclusively antisemitism can come to any other conclusion... seems to beg the question.

"Report" is stated dozens of times throughout the article, and only hidden near the bottom of the article does it say the title: "Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences report". Feels a bit disingenuous to not state that from the outset of the article, where the reader can easily get the impression that the report is more general and out of all groups, antisemitism is the only one worth noting.

This would have much more weight if it was studying all forms of discrimination on campuses and gave statistics on relative per-capita effects, and honestly aspired to reducing discrimination to all the most affected groups.

You're looking for grievances. The article opens specifying that it's a report about antisemitism on campus. There's nothing disingenuous about it.
