The University of California has reached a landmark settlement in a lawsuit accusing UCLA of enabling antisemitic discrimination during campus protests in 2024. The agreement, totaling over $6 million, includes payments to Jewish organizations and a permanent court order requiring the university to protect Jewish students from exclusion and harassment. The settlement follows a federal investigation that found UCLA violated civil rights laws by failing to address credible claims of harm and hostility toward Jewish students. University officials and Jewish leaders have welcomed the outcome as a significant step toward combating antisemitism, though they acknowledge that more work remains to ensure a safe and inclusive environment on campus.
