Law Firms Take Stand Against Campus Antisemitism
Several top law firms have issued a warning to elite universities in the US, stating that they will not recruit from campuses that tolerate antisemitism. The firms expressed concern over reports of anti-Semitic harassment, vandalism, and assaults on college campuses, and emphasized that such activities would not be tolerated at their firms. They also called on universities to ensure that their students are prepared to be part of workplace communities with zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment. The law firms behind the letter are highly sought-after employers for graduates of these law schools. In response, some universities have launched efforts to combat antisemitism, including the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University.
