Edelson PC Halts Harvard Law School On-Campus Recruiting Over President's Controversial Testimony
The decision follows University President Claudine Gay's refusal to unequivocally condemn calls for genocide of Jewish people during a congressional hearing on antisemitism.
- Edelson PC, a leading law firm, has announced it will cease on-campus recruiting at Harvard Law School in response to University President Claudine Gay's controversial congressional testimony.
- Gay faced backlash after declining to unequivocally state whether calls for genocide of Jewish people violate the University’s policies on bullying and harassment during a congressional hearing on antisemitism.
- Despite Gay's subsequent apology, Edelson PC has withdrawn from all Harvard Law School on-campus interviews, including the 2024 Spring Interview Program.
- Edelson PC's decision does not reflect on the students, and the firm is seeking alternative ways to recruit and hire Harvard students.
- The firm has stated it would return to campus if Gay sufficiently apologizes for her remarks in front of Congress.
