A major law firm rescinded job offers to Harvard University and Columbia University students who were associated with letters that were sent to express solidarity with Palestinians while blaming Israel for the recent Hamas attacks.

Davis Polk & Wardwell said it rescinded the offers to several candidates because the views in the letter “are in direct contravention of our firm’s value system.”
