A proposed class-action lawsuit accuses Concordia University in Montreal, and its student union, of creating a safe space for antisemitism on campus over decades, leaving students and faculty psychologically scarred.
The lawsuit application seeks $15 million in damages for members of the proposed class, which includes Jewish students, faculty, and staff currently at the school, or who attended or worked there, in the last three years. Two Concordia students and one professor are leading the application, filed in Quebec Superior Court on Nov. 16, and requesting anonymity in legal proceedings because they fear retaliation.
