Law firm boycotts Harvard Law recruiting events over president's testimony and campus antisemitism controversy
A law firm, Edelson PC, has announced that it will cease on-campus recruiting at Harvard Law School due to the university president's recent congressional testimony on antisemitism. The firm's founder, Jay Edelson, expressed dissatisfaction with how Harvard and its president, Claudine Gay, handled the aftermath of her testimony. Edelson called for a "sea change" on campus before the firm would consider returning to on-campus recruiting. The decision comes after several Wall Street law firms warned universities about hiring students engaging in antisemitism.
