Cooper Union Settles Antisemitism Lawsuit, Promises Change

Cooper Union agrees to combat campus antisemitism, settling a lawsuit from Jewish students who faced harassment during a 2023 rally. The school, a private Manhattan college, will implement changes to ensure a safer learning environment for Jewish students, following a federal judges ruling that free speech does not excuse the students treatment. This settlement aligns with a growing trend of lawsuits against U.S. colleges following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023.
