The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has agreed to pay more than $6 million in a consent agreement after Jewish faculty and students brought an antisemitism lawsuit against the school over its handling of pro-Palestinian campus demonstrations.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit was brought by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty last year after the encampments cropped up at the university that spring and a video went viral of a Jewish student being blocked from entering a certain part of campus.<\/p>\n
The university will pay $6.13 million, with the funds going to the plaintiffs and various organizations that work to combat antisemitism.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased with the terms of today\u2019s settlement. The injunction and other terms UCLA has agreed to demonstrate real progress in the fight against antisemitism,\u201d the university and plaintiffs said in a joint statement. \u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the Becket Fund, the agreement is the largest private settlement in a campus antisemitism case. \u00a0<\/p>\n
A judge will have to sign off on the deal, which also includes a permanent court order forbidding UCLA from excluding Jewish students and faculty on campus.<\/p>\n
The agreement comes months after UCLA began its Initiative to Combat Antisemitism.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen antisemites were terrorizing Jews and excluding them from campus, UCLA chose to protect the thugs and help keep Jews out,\u201d\u00a0said Yitzchok Frankel, a recent UCLA Law graduate.\u00a0\u201cThat was shameful, and it is sad that my own school defended those actions for more than a year. But today\u2019s court judgment brings justice back to our campus and ensures Jews will be safe and be treated equally once again.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
