Jewish students file lawsuit against NYU for alleged campus antisemitism

Three Jewish students at New York University (NYU) have filed a lawsuit alleging that the university has failed to protect them from escalating antisemitism, which they claim has worsened since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. The students argue that NYU has created a hostile educational environment by allowing pervasive acts of hatred, discrimination, harassment, and intimidation against Jewish students. They accuse the university of deliberate indifference and selective enforcement of its own rules. NYU denies the allegations and states that it takes antisemitism seriously, investigates incidents, and refers violators to the student disciplinary office. The lawsuit demands measures to prevent antisemitism, termination of responsible administrators and faculty, and suspension or expulsion of students engaged in such conduct.
