One day after Trump inauguration, Harvard settles two major antisemitism lawsuits and establishes new campus policies
Harvard University settled two major antisemitism lawsuits with Jewish student groups just one day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The settlement includes significant policy changes, such as adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism, expanding protections for Jewish and Israeli students, and creating a dedicated point person for addressing complaints. This comes after criticism over the university’s handling of antisemitism, particularly following the 2023 Hamas attacks. The changes aim to foster a safer and more inclusive campus environment for Jewish students.
