US EditionIsraeli Harvard grad sues university, alleging assault cover-up and systemic antisemitism
HARVARD UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA, JUL 19 – Yoav Segev alleges Harvard failed to protect him and obstructed investigations after he was assaulted during an antisemitic protest, highlighting a rise in campus antisemitism post-October 2023 attack.
- Israeli Harvard Business School student Yoav Segev filed a federal lawsuit in October 2023 after being assaulted on campus during a pro-Palestinian protest.
- The assault followed an increase in antisemitic incidents after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, with Segev’s lawyers alleging systemic discrimination and university inaction.
- Segev alleges Harvard police obstructed the investigation, halted disciplinary processes, publicly revealed his identity despite his request for anonymity, and refused to discipline his assailants.
- Two individuals involved in the incident were honored at graduation, with one being awarded a lucrative public interest fellowship affiliated with the Harvard Law Review, and the other serving as a class marshal for the divinity school, sparking significant controversy.
- The Trump administration halted nearly $3 billion in federal funding to Harvard, citing failures to protect Jewish students and demanding policy reforms, as the university fights both Segev’s lawsuit and federal action.
