Harvard Sued by Jewish Students Over ‘Rampant’ Antisemitism

Harvard University is being sued by a group of Jewish students alleging that the elite school has become a “bastion of rampant anti-Jewish hatred and harassment.”

The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Massachusetts federal court alleges that Harvard has violated Jewish students’ civil rights and failed to punish acts of anti-Jewish hatred on campus. The plaintiffs claim that antisemitism has become “particularly severe and pervasive” at Harvard following Hamas’ attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7.

“Mobs of pro-Hamas students and faculty have marched by the hundreds through Harvard’s campus, shouting vile antisemitic slogans and calling for death to Jews and Israel,” the suit alleges. “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 and harassing and assaulting them on campus.”
