Jewish students across several New York City universities have expressed deep concern and fear following Zohran Mamdani's victory in the mayoral race. Many students cited Mamdani's past statements and policy positions as reasons for their apprehension, describing his win as a significant setback for the city's Jewish community. Recent years have seen heightened tensions and protests on campuses, with Jewish students reporting feeling unsafe and unsupported. While Mamdani has pledged to stand against antisemitism, students remain wary about the impact his leadership may have on campus climate and broader community relations.
