LOS ANGELES—Three Jewish students filed a civil rights lawsuit June 5 against the University of California Board of Regents and other university officials, alleging UCLA allowed “antisemitic activists” to bar them and other students from going to their classes, offices and the library during pro-Palestinian demonstrations in April and May.

In the Los Angeles federal court complaint, two law students and an undergraduate student contend that UCLA allowed a group of students and outsiders to set up an encampment, the participants of which stopped Jewish students and faculty from accessing the heart of campus.
