"Law Students' Job Offers Revoked Due to Controversial Statements on Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Davis Polk & Wardwell, a law firm, has rescinded job offers to three law students from Harvard and Columbia, citing their involvement in student organizations that issued statements on the Israel-Hamas war conflicting with the firm's values. This follows a similar incident where a New York University law student lost a job offer over a statement on Israel. Tensions have been high on college campuses since Hamas launched attacks on Israel, leading to counterattacks by the Israeli Defense Forces. CEOs and investors have called on Harvard to disclose the names of students involved in the statements, and tech leaders have withdrawn from a European conference after the CEO criticized Israel.
