Judge calls out university for making Jewish students hide in a 'proverbial attic,' allows lawsuit to proceed

A judge in New York allows a lawsuit to proceed against Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, criticizing the university for failing to protect Jewish students during an anti-Israel rally. The judge stated that the responsibility lies with the university to prevent harassment of Jewish students, rather than the students having to hide or escape. The lawsuit is based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs. Other universities have also faced lawsuits over anti-Israel protests on their campuses.
