Students sue NYU alleging administrators and professors tolerated or encouraged anti-Semitic harassment (Michael Simkovic)

The Reuters story is here.  The Bloomberg story is here.  The lawsuit appears to be directed at the college and the university, not at individuals affiliated with the law school.

More universities will likely face similar lawsuits and negative press coverage in the coming weeks and months.  Attorneys for plaintiffs at the law firm of Kasowitz Benson Torres have said that they plan to file suit against Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania and UC-Berkeley. 

Plaintiffs attorneys' have said that they intend to emphasize an alleged double standard at universities in their treatment of complaints of harassment from Jewish students compared to complaints of harassment from students from other minority groups.
