Jewish students at NYU file lawsuit alleging antisemitism amid tensions from Israel-Hamas conflict on campus
November 15, 2023Three Jewish students are suing NYU over alleged antisemitism on campus, stating that the university has violated the Civil Rights Act and shown deliberate indifference toward hostilities impacting Jewish students. The lawsuit claims the problem was exacerbated after Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli citizens, leading to consistent harassment of the students with chants of “Hitler was right” and “gas the Jews.” They have requested that the court order NYU to terminate employees responsible for the abuse and pay damages to the students. NYU denies the allegations and stands by its efforts to stomp out antisemitism.
