Judge says ‘Harvard failed its Jewish students,’ lets antisemitism lawsuit proceed

District Judge Richard Stearns ruled Tuesday that a lawsuit filed against Harvard accusing the university of antisemitism can proceed, saying “the facts as pled show that Harvard failed its Jewish students.” 

Harvard was sued in January over its campus environment and the handling of protests after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack against Israel, saying Jewish students were harassed and the school did not address the issue adequately.
