Prestigious law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is scrutinizing potential hires for their involvement in pro-Palestinian student groups and anti-Israel protests.
A prominent New York-based law firm that recruits from the nation's most prestigious law schools – including Harvard and Yale – is scrutinizing potential hires for any involvement in pro-Palestinian student groups or anti-Israel protests.
People are taking their outrage about what’s going on in Gaza and turning it into racist antisemitism," Shenker told The Times. Following the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, anti-Israel protests raged on campuses across the U.S. for months, sparking condemnation from lawmakers and business leaders against some colleges and universities' handling of antisemitism on campus.
Several business leaders vowed to stop hiring from schools that allowed demonstrations that threatened the safety of Jewish students. Now, The Times says S&C is the first Wall Street law firm to go public with its policy of not hiring anti-Israel demonstrators, and reported that four of the firm's rivals are privately considering similar hiring practices.
