The suit claims that students have been targeted with doxxing, stalking and assault for being Palestinian, Muslim or supporters of Palestinian rights.
The students represented in the suit attend Harvard College, Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Divinity School, and Harvard Law School.
“We are proud to help these brave students find a voice and assert their rights to learn free and safe from harm, consistent with the First Amendment of our nation’s Constitution,” said Civil Litigation Department Head Christina A. Jump, lead attorney for the students.
The department is already investigating claims of anti-Semitism on Harvard’s campus.
