Harvard Settles Title VI Antisemitism Lawsuits, Adopts IHRA Definition Amid Israel-Hamas War
Jan 21, 2025, 07:20 PM
Harvard University has settled two Title VI lawsuits filed by Jewish students and advocacy groups, alleging the university failed to adequately address antisemitism on campus. The settlements, reached on Tuesday, include Harvard's adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which will be used to guide the university's anti-discrimination and anti-bullying policies. Additionally, Harvard will clarify that its non-discrimination policies extend to Jewish and Israeli students, and will establish an official partnership with a university in Israel. The university will also compile annual reports on Title VI complaints for the next five years and appoint an individual to oversee antisemitism complaints. These actions come in the wake of widespread pro-Palestine demonstrations on campus following the onset of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023.
