UCLA ends antisemitism lawsuit with $6 million settlement
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES CAMPUS, WESTWOOD, CALIFORNIA, JUL 30 – UCLA will pay $6.45 million to settle claims it allowed a pro-Palestinian encampment that blocked Jewish students' access, with $2.33 million donated to eight Jewish organization
- The University of California agreed on July 29, 2025, to a $6.13 million settlement resolving a lawsuit alleging UCLA enabled antisemitic discrimination during 2024 campus protests.
- The June 2024 lawsuit alleged that UCLA permitted a pro-Palestinian protest camp on campus that restricted access for Jewish students and faculty to certain areas, effectively creating what was described as a "Jew Exclusion Zone."
- The agreement includes a commitment to provide $2.33 million in donations to eight organizations focused on Jewish and antisemitism-related causes, along with an additional $320,000 allocated to the Initiative to Combat Antisemitism established by the university.
- Lead plaintiff Yitzchok Frankel stated that during a time when Jews faced hostility and were being barred from campus, UCLA sided with those responsible for the harassment rather than protecting Jewish students, describing the court’s decision as a rightful correction.
- The settlement includes a permanent court order preventing UCLA from excluding Jewish students and faculty, aims to foster a safe and inclusive campus, and is believed to set a legal precedent.
