UCLA Pays $6 Million to Settle Antisemitism Lawsuit | JQJO

UCLA settled a lawsuit for $6 million with three Jewish students and a professor who claimed their civil rights were violated during 2024 pro-Palestinian protests. The protests blocked access to campus for Jewish students. A judge ruled against UCLA, finding they were deliberately indifferent to the hostile environment. The settlement includes payments to plaintiffs, legal fees, and antisemitism combating organizations. The Trump administration joined the lawsuit, citing violations of the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. UCLA pledged to ensure equal access for all.
