Harvard University Sued by Jewish Students Alleging Antisemitism
Students claim university failed to protect them from harassment and intimidation in the wake of heightened tensions following Hamas attack on Israel.
- Jewish students at Harvard University have filed a federal lawsuit alleging the school has failed to protect them from antisemitism on campus.
- The lawsuit comes in the wake of increased tensions following the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists.
- The students claim they have been subjected to a hostile environment, intimidation, harassment, and physical assault because they're Jewish.
- The lawsuit also alleges a double standard at Harvard, where students and faculty are allowed to advocate 'the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel' without consequences.
- The students are seeking disciplinary action against those responsible for antisemitic discrimination and abuse, and the implementation of institutional, far-reaching and concrete remedial measures.
