An Austrian business school has severed ties with Harvard University, adding to the international backlash over the Ivy League college’s handling of anti-Semitic rhetoric on campus over the Israel-Hamas war.

Lauder Business School, located in Vienna, Austria, said in a statement earlier this month that the decision to end its partnership with Harvard was meant to show support for Harvard’s Jewish students.
