Harvard Hit With New Alumni Lawsuit Over Antisemitism

A university once respected around the world for its academic excellence has become a cesspool of antisemitic harassment and intimidation, plaintiffs claim.

Fallout over rampant antisemitism at Harvard University and the administration’s refusal to enforce its own policies and protect Jewish students on campus continues with a new lawsuit alleging that a Harvard degree, once a coveted and respected status symbol, is now all but worthless.

In the fall of 2022, the university was the target of a successful lawsuit brought by Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) over its affirmative action policies.
