Litigation

CCAF is funding lawsuits brought by Jewish students against New York University, filed on November 14, 2023, the University of Pennsylvania, filed on December 5, 2023, Harvard, filed on January 10, 2024, and Columbia, filed on February 21, 2024, in federal courts, alleging that the universities have tolerated and enabled egregiously hostile antisemitic educational environments, including pervasive acts of hatred, discrimination, harassment and intimidation. In the complaints, the students seek injunctive relief to compel the universities to remedy their civil rights violations as well as monetary damages.

Civil rights lawsuits funded by CCAF against other major universities are being prepared and will be filed shortly.
