Harvard Faces Federal Lawsuit Over Alleged Antisemitism on Campus

Jewish students claim years of unchecked harassment and discrimination, with university accused of indifference.

The lawsuit was filed by the Louis Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education.
Plaintiffs allege that antisemitic incidents have increased since the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
Examples cited include physical assaults, harassment, and antisemitic messages on student forums.
Former Harvard president Claudine Gay's weak response to antisemitism is noted as a contributing factor to her ouster.
The lawsuit argues that Harvard's inaction has created an unbearable environment for Jewish students.
