Harvard settles lawsuits over antisemitism on campus

Hindustan Times  

Harvard University will provide additional protections for Jewish students under a settlement announced on Tuesday that resolves two lawsuits accusing the Ivy League school of becoming a hotbed of rampant antisemitism. Harvard's settlement resolves a lawsuit by Students Against Antisemitism, and a lawsuit by Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education and the Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, and includes unspecified monetary payments. Marc Kasowitz, a lawyer for Students Against Antisemitism, said in an interview he had "great confidence" that Harvard was committed to protecting its Jewish students, including those targeted simply for supporting Israel. Students Against Antisemitism settled similar litigation against New York University last July, and Kasowitz said the group was pleased that campus life for Jewish students there has "dramatically improved."
