A US judge has ruled that Harvard University must face a narrowed lawsuit over allegations of antisemitism. The judge dismissed claims that Harvard directly discriminated against Jewish and Israeli students, but allowed the case to proceed on the grounds of a hostile educational environment. The lawsuits accuse Harvard of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and seek to stop further violations. The decision primarily concerns Harvard's alleged mishandling of incidents from 2023, including a lecturer pressuring students to abandon a project related to a 'liberal-Jewish democracy' and a viral 'die-in' where antisemitic slogans were chanted.
