"Controversial Letters and Campus Antisemitism: Unveiling the Dark Side of Higher Education"

Davis Polk, a top U.S. law firm, has rescinded job offers to three law students from Harvard and Columbia universities who signed organizational statements about Israel. The firm stated that the statements were contrary to its values and that it aimed to provide a safe and inclusive work environment. This move comes in response to open letters from university groups regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, which have caused controversy among donors, employers, alumni, and students. Other CEOs, business leaders, and a federal judge have also cut ties with Harvard and expressed their refusal to hire or work with the signers of the statements.
