Another Ivy League institution faces legal action for devolving in 'cauldron of antisemitism'

Columbia University is facing a lawsuit by Jewish student in latest legal challenge against Ivy League institutions over antisemitism following the deadly Oct. 7 attacks in Israel.
Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
According to the lawsuit, Forrest — a straight-A student — asked her professors if she could participate in classes via Zoom meetings in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in Israel. The campus "devolved into a cauldron of antisemitism" leaving Forrest "feeling physically unsafe," the Lawfare Project says in the lawsuit.
But instead of granting what Forrest calls a "reasonable accommodation to protect her from the threats," the administration "grew increasingly intolerant. "In a clear act of retaliation, they began fabricating allegations of her failure to meet program standards to create pretexts under which they could force her out of the DBT program," the lawsuit says.
