Harvard University Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Anti-Semitism

Jewish students accuse Ivy League institution of enabling anti-Semitism and failing to protect them from harassment.

  • A group of Jewish students at Harvard University has filed a federal lawsuit accusing the institution of enabling anti-Semitism and selectively enforcing its policies to avoid protecting Jewish students from harassment.
  • The lawsuit alleges that Harvard has allowed students and faculty accused of engaging in anti-Semitic acts to remain on campus, and even provided support to pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
  • The lawsuit cites numerous incidents of harassment and targeting of Jewish students, including anti-Israel demonstrations, vandalism of Jewish facilities, and anti-Semitic education materials.
  • The plaintiffs are seeking the termination or suspension of administrators, professors, and students who engaged in anti-Semitic discrimination or abuse, requiring anti-Semitism training, and monetary damages.
  • The lawsuit comes amid a Congressional investigation into reports of anti-Semitism on campus, with the House Committee on Education and the Workforce demanding the university provide all documents related to Jewish students and anti-Semitism on campus.
