NYU Sued by Jewish Students Over Alleged Antisemitism

Students Claim University Failed to Protect Them from Escalating Antisemitism Since Start of Israel-Hamas War

Three Jewish students at New York University (NYU) have filed a lawsuit alleging the school has failed to protect them from escalating antisemitism, which they say has worsened since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7.
The students claim the 'antisemitic behavior' at the university has been 'ongoing,' and they allege NYU has shown 'at best, deliberate indifference.'
The lawsuit demands NYU take measures to prevent antisemitism, terminate responsible administrators and faculty, and suspend or expel students engaged in such conduct.
The students are also asking for damages and attorneys' fees.
NYU spokesperson John Beckman said the allegations 'do not accurately describe conditions on our campus or the many steps NYU has been taking to fight antisemitism and keep the campus safe.'
