Harvard president defends students' right to blame Israel but condemns 'barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas'
A prestigious Big Apple law firm has revoked job offers to three students at Harvard and Columbia universities after the Ivy League studentsDavis Polk & Wardwell alerted staffers on Tuesday that it had rescinded the offers because the prospective employees held leadership positions within the student organizations that issued last week’s statements blaming Israel for the attacks.
The firm, which reps financial institutions and corporations, said it was still “in dialogue” with two of the students as of Tuesday after they had argued they didn’t authorize or individually sign the letters.The firm said the former summer associate’s comments “profoundly conflict with Winston & Strawn’s values as a firm.”
NYU law dean Troy McKenzie sought to distance the school from Workman’s comments last week, saying the student’s message was not from the school and didn’t speak for its leadership.“What’s been driving me is the resilience of Palestinians in this moment,” Workman told the outlet in their first media interview since the scandal.An aerial view shows members of the media touring a visit to Kibbutz Kfar Aza in Israel in the wake of Hamas’ deadly onslaught.
