A lawsuit has been filed against the University of California, Berkeley, alleging discrimination against Israeli academic Dr. Yael Nativ. Dr. Nativ, who previously taught at Berkeley, claims her application to return was rejected due to her national origin, with the department chair citing campus tensions as a reason. An internal investigation confirmed she faced discrimination, but the university has not taken corrective action in over a year and a half. The case is part of a wider pattern, with similar lawsuits filed against other major universities for alleged discrimination against Israeli academics.
