Even those, like me, steeped in the details of the Harvard antisemitism story may find the federal complaint in Alexander Kestenbaum and Students Against Antisemitism, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College to be enlightening, and sobering, reading. Kestenbaum is represented by Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP.
It's a 77-page document and hard to summarize adequately, but some lowlights are worth passing along. From Harvard Law School: "Fearing a violent attack, students in the study room removed indicia of their Jewishness, such as kippot, or hid under desks....SAA Member #2 was shocked that Harvard had effectively surrendered its campus to the mob."
The professors are cheering on the anti-Israel students: "On October 20, Professor Clio Takas emailed her students stating, '[a]s many of you know, [Harvard PSC] and [Harvard GS4P] are organizing a class walk-out and general strike . . . . I have decided to cancel section today in solidarity.' Similarly, Harvard Public Health Professor Nancy Krieger accommodated students who wanted to participate in the October 20 global strike by permitting the vast majority of students to leave class to protest. Krieger then excused the remaining seven (which included several Jewish students) and asked them to return along with the protesting students at noon. As it turned out, Krieger and the protesting students returned to the classroom some forty minutes earlier than the professor had said class would resume and, in the absence of the Jewish students, Krieger resumed her lecture."
