Law Firm Rescinds Job Offers for Harvard Students Over Anti-Israel Letter
Davis Polk, a prestigious law firm, rescinded job offers to three students from Columbia and Harvard who were believed to have led organizations that blamed Israel for a recent attack. However, the firm is reconsidering its decision for two of the students who claimed they did not authorize the letters. The situation highlights the challenges of navigating divisive political issues in the workplace. Another law firm, Winston & Strawn, also rescinded an offer to a student who blamed Israel for the attack. Some investors are calling on corporations to refuse to hire students affiliated with groups that criticize Israel's policies. Davis Polk has not yet made a final decision on whether to reverse its rescinded offers.
