A U.S. judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit in which Jewish students accused Harvard University of allowing antisemitism to proliferate on its campus. The lawsuit claims that Harvard failed to protect its Jewish students, creating an environment where antisemitism could thrive. U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns stated on Tuesday that 'the facts as pled show that Harvard failed its Jewish students.' This decision means that Harvard must face the allegations in court after losing its motion to dismiss.
