Jewish Students File Lawsuit Against Columbia University and Barnard College for Antisemitism

The lawsuit alleges severe antisemitism on campus, including physical assaults and harassment, amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.

Jewish students at Columbia University and Barnard College are suing the institutions over claims of 'severe' and 'pervasive' antisemitism, including physical assaults and harassment.
The lawsuit, filed by Kasowitz Benson Torres, is the second such action against campus antisemitism since Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7.
Columbia is accused of failing to intervene and protect Jewish students, with allegations of a double standard in enforcement of policies against Jewish and Israeli students.
Protests and demonstrations on campus have led to incidents of doxxing, medical emergencies, and arrests, further escalating tensions.
The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and institutional changes at Columbia to address and prevent antisemitism.
