The lawsuits came after Harvard faced fierce criticism over its handling of anti-Israel protests that erupted on campus amid the Israel-Hamas war. Jewish students alleged they were bullied, spat on, intimidated, threatened and subjected to verbal and physical harassment.

Harvard, which has seen its campus erupt in pro-Hamas demonstrations after the terror group launched its Oct. 7 attacks, has settled two separate lawsuits alleging antisemitic discrimination brought by The Louis Brandeis Center and the other filed by Students Against Antisemitism and Shabbos Kestenabaum.
