Harvard University must face lawsuit over antisemitism on campus, judge rules

Harvard University must face a lawsuit after a U.S. judge ruled that Jewish students alleged antisemitism on campus. U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns stated that claims of Harvard’s inadequate response to incidents are serious and noted doubts about First Amendment protections.
The lawsuit accuses Harvard of selective enforcement of anti-discrimination policies and indifference towards Jewish students’ safety. Jewish students at Harvard brought the lawsuit forward after several pro-Palestine protests and encampments disrupted Harvard’s campus and activities in the Spring of 2024.
