Jewish students are planning to sue colleges like Cornell and Harvard for doing enough to stop antisemitism on campuses. "There has been an explosion of antisemitism on college campuses," attorney Mark Ressler told Insider. Harvard, New York University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The plaintiffs in the planned lawsuits will be "students who have been victimized by on-campus bigotry and hatred directed at them because they are Jewish," Ressler said. "And yet when it comes to Jewish students, university administrators have a double standard and they have put their head in the sand and allowed this problem to become out of control," he said.
