Federal judge sides against Jewish students who sued UPenn over antisemitism

  • A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed in December 2023 against the University of Pennsylvania for mishandling antisemitism complaints on campus following Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel.
  • The lawsuit arose amid rising tensions after the September 2023 Palestine Writes Literature Festival and accused Penn of permitting antisemitic incidents that created a hostile environment for Jewish students.
  • Plaintiffs described missing classes, feeling unsafe, and concealing their Jewish identities amid campus protests, while the university responded by implementing measures such as forming a special committee and creating a group to advise on Jewish student experiences.
  • Judge Mitchell Goldberg acknowledged that some allegations might be seen as antisemitic and intended to harm the Plaintiffs, but permitted the plaintiffs to submit an amended complaint on two counts while advising them to avoid including irrelevant details.
  • The dismissal and prior U.S. Department of Education investigation drop highlight ongoing challenges addressing antisemitism at Penn, while leadership resigned amid the controversy, signaling institutional strain.
