A federal judge ruled Tuesday a lawsuit by Jewish students accusing Harvard University of failing to address antisemitism on campus could move forward.
A federal judge denied Harvard University’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by six Jewish students alleging the school did not properly address ongoing campus antisemitism. U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns wrote in his ruling Tuesday that despite how former Harvard president Claudine Gay and interim president Garber 'repeatedly publicly recognized' an 'eruption of antisemitism,' there were many instances where 'Harvard did not respond at all.
We are delighted that the judge recognizes what we have been saying for months now: Harvard has enabled, normalized, and celebrated a culture of antisemitism on its campus,' Kestenbaum wrote. Jewish students filed the lawsuit in January claiming Harvard violated their Title VI rights by failing to tackle the 'antisemitism cancer' growing on campus following the Hamas attack against Israel on Oct. 7.
