Barnard settles suit alleging antisemitism, agrees to changes including anti-discrimination official
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 07 – Barnard College will introduce new antisemitism education, protest restrictions, and a Title VI coordinator after settling a lawsuit filed by Jewish students alleging ignored antisemitism.
- Last week, Barnard College settled a lawsuit accusing it of ignoring antisemitism and agreed to new measures including enhanced training and protest restrictions.
- The lawsuit, filed February 21, 2024, and expanded in June, followed campus protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict and alleged rising antisemitism at Barnard College.
- Barnard will establish a dedicated Title VI coordinator, ban masks at protests, and incorporate antisemitism education into anti-discrimination training, starting in fall 2025.
- From fall 2025, the college will implement new policies including annual zero-tolerance messages and campus-wide enforcement of anti-discrimination measures.
- Kasowitz noted the settlement sets a precedent, encouraging other universities to adopt similar measures against campus antisemitism.
