Lawsuit Alleges Harvard's Failure to Address Antisemitism

Jewish students have sued Harvard University, accusing the institution of allowing rampant antisemitism on campus and selectively enforcing anti-discrimination policies. The complaint alleges that Harvard ignored pleas for protection, hired professors who support anti-Jewish violence, and violated federal civil rights laws. The lawsuit comes in the wake of disputes over free speech and the right to protest following the Israel-Hamas war. The plaintiffs are seeking the suspension or expulsion of students engaging in antisemitism, return of donations tied to hiring antisemitic professors, and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
