On this date in 2008, Georgetown University’s online newspaper, thehoya.com, reported in an article titled “Ten Bias Incidents Reported Last Fall” that the university had 15 bias-related incidents in the spring and summer of 2006, and an additional eight in the fall of 2006, as tallied by Georgetown’s Bias Reporting System which began in early 2004.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on this date in 2008, Temple University students allegedly yelled anti-Semitic slurs at two college students who do not attend Temple, and then at least one of the Temple students allegedly assaulted the 23-year-old Penn State University student, Jordan Blady, who was standing near a Jewish fraternity which is located near the intersection of Broad Street and Norris Street on Temple’s main campus. The victim, who is the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, was with a 22-year-old male companion who attended the Community College of Philadelphia at the time of the attack. The Temple students said to have been involved in the attack allegedly yelled "We hate Jews! We hate Jews!" and “f-ing Jews” at the time of the attack after surrounding the two Jewish men. Temple University officials are calling the incident a hate crime. Mr. Blady suffered a broken nose and other serious injuries according to police. Philadelphia police pursued criminal charges against the four Temple students who were suspended from school because of the incident, and pending a University Disciplinary Committee hearing, they could be expelled from Temple. The identities of the four assailants had been kept private initially due to university privacy policies. However, police identified the four white men, who turned themselves in, as Michael Walsh, 20, of Florham Park, New Jersey, David Scott, 20, of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, Stephen Scott, 19, also of Willow Grove, and Bryan Pedreiro, 18, of East Brunswick, New Jersey, who had been a high school wrestling star. On April 29, 2008, Judge Nazario Jimenez dismissed aggravated-assault charges against the four defendants who still stand charged with simple assault, ethnic intimidation, and terroristic threats. They were to be arraigned and to go to trial for these charges on May 20, 2008.

In 2010 on this date in Boca Raton, Florida, the Temple Beth El on Southwest Fourth Avenue was significantly vandalized in a hate crime attack by three white teenaged males, ages 14, 15, and 17, that police refused to deem a hate crime in spite of the anti-Semitic nature of the crime. Vases and chairs were broken in the synagogue; and, the teen vandals, who confessed to vandalizing the temple, also carved a swastika, "KKK," "Hail Hitler" and "nigger" on the bathroom doors.
