Harvard University has settled two federal lawsuits alleging antisemitic discrimination on campus following nearly a year of wrangling.
As part of the agreement, the famous college will incorporate the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, and the contemporary examples appended to the definition, when evaluating allegations of discrimination
The university was sued in May 2024 in the wake of pro-Palestinian campus protests that emerged after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
A Harvard spokesperson said: “Today’s settlement reflects Harvard’s enduring commitment to ensuring our Jewish students, faculty, and staff are embraced, respected, and supported.”
