Several Jewish students have sued Harvard University for allegedly tolerating anti-Jewish harassment and hatred on campus, particularly following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
The lawsuit accuses the university of violating civil rights and tolerating harassment, assault, and intimidation of Jewish students.
The lawsuit claims that pro-Hamas groups have engaged in anti-Semitic behavior on campus. (Trending: GOP Rep. Mace Clashes Directly With Hunter Biden At Hearing)
According to the lawsuit, “Mobs of pro-Hamas students and faculty have marched by the hundreds through Harvard’s campus, shouting vile anti-Semitic slogans and calling for death to Jews and Israel.”
“Those mobs have occupied buildings, classrooms, libraries, student lounges, plazas, and study halls, often for days or weeks at a time, promoting violence against Jews,” continued the court documents.
Attorney Marc Kasowitz said the lawsuit was needed because Harvard would not “correct its deep-seated anti-Semitism problem voluntarily.”
“Harvard must be forced to protect its Jewish students and stop applying a double standard when it comes to anti-Jewish bigotry,” added Kasowitz.
The issue has sparked a broader debate over free speech and campus safety, with the U.S. Department of Education warning colleges to address anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
Harvard’s response and actions related to these events have come under scrutiny, leading to administrative changes and investigations.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said, “No student should feel unsafe on campus.”
“The Office for Civil Rights takes these cases very seriously. They investigate harassment or violations for anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-Arab sentiment. We take that role very seriously. If any student on campus feels that any protest or messaging makes them feel unsafe, we ask for an investigation,” he continued.
