Mission Statement
The Lone Star Student Task Force on Antisemitism works to ensure that the State of Texas has an accurate and up-to-date understanding of antisemitism on high school and college campuses. By centering student experiences and firsthand observation, the Task Force creates a direct channel through which what students see, hear, and experience in everyday campus spaces can inform awareness, decision-making, and potential policy responses.
Purpose
Much of what shapes the climate around antisemitism on campus occurs outside formal reporting channels. Classroom dynamics, student organizations, informal conversations, and online spaces often remain invisible unless a major incident occurs.
The Lone Star Student Task Force on Antisemitism brings student insight into these less visible spaces, allowing the Commission and state legislators to better understand how antisemitism manifests across campuses and how students experience it in real time.

Student Participation
Students participating in the Task Force contribute by observing and describing the climate on their campuses, including patterns, incidents, conversations, and broader trends related to antisemitism. Their role is not to propose policy, but to provide grounded, experience-based insight that helps the State of Texas understand what is actually happening on campuses across the state.
