The University of California, Berkeley has reached a settlement with Dr. Yael Nativ, agreeing to rehire her and pay $60,000 after she alleged discrimination based on her Israeli nationality. The university will also cover legal fees and its chancellor will issue a personal apology to Dr. Nativ, reaffirming policies against discrimination based on national origin or citizenship. This resolution follows a broader pattern of similar lawsuits at other elite universities and comes amid heightened tensions on campus following recent events in the Middle East. In a related move, UC Berkeley suspended a lecturer for promoting anti-Israel sentiment in the classroom, signaling efforts to address concerns about discrimination and campus climate. Dr. Nativ expressed hope that the settlement would encourage universities to uphold equity and open dialogue for all scholars and students.
