US EditionIsraeli Researcher Says Stanford Shunned and Sabotaged Him After Hamas Attack; university denies it
MASSACHUSETTS AND CALIFORNIA, JUL 10 – The lawsuit alleges universities allowed anti-Semitic harassment including threats, research sabotage, and administrative inaction, impacting Jewish and Israeli students’ safety and careers.
- A lawsuit submitted this week accuses Stanford University of antisemitic discrimination and retaliation against Israeli chemist Dr. Shay Laps following his arrival in April 2024.
- The lawsuit states that Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel sparked widespread antisemitism and violent protests on campuses including Stanford, creating hostility toward Laps.
- Laps faced sabotage of his diabetes research, social ostracism, a fabricated sexual harassment claim by lab director Dr. Danny Chou, and was locked out of the lab before forced to resign.
- Kenneth Marcus from the Brandeis Center called Stanford's failure to address antisemitic harassment “gross negligence and utterly unacceptable,” while Stanford denies discrimination but admits a pervasive antisemitic climate.
- The lawsuit and its advocates demand Stanford compensate Laps and take measures to combat antisemitism amid alleged institutional indifference to serious discrimination claims.
