A Republican Harvard alumna has written a letter to Harvard University's leadership, demanding justice for an antisemitic incident that occurred on campus. The incident involved the physical assault of an Israeli student by members of the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee.
The letter comes on the heels of a rocky several months for the elite university, which has been hit by accusations of protecting antisemitism and not enforcing campus bylaws by taking disciplinary action against pro-Palestinian students.
“Justice for this incident should have been served quickly, and the delay of justice that specifically allows an antisemitic student to graduate is an affront to accountability and demonstrates the cultural rot of Harvard University’s leadership that has allowed antisemitism to continue,” Stefanik said in the letter to Harvard interim president Alan Garber and senior fellow Penny Pritzker.Republican and Harvard alumna is referring to an incident from Oct.
One of the alleged attackers is set to graduate in May, and a letter from the alleged victim’s lawyers states that court date negotiations have been delayed — meaning one of the alleged assailants could graduate with a degree from Harvard before being held legally accountable. “The lack of any tangible developments in this investigation is unacceptable as rapidly approaches graduation,” the letter from the alleged victim’s attorneys at Holtzman Vogel stated. “The protracted delay all but ensures that at least one of the offending individuals will have the privilege of graduating from Harvard without facing any serious academic or professional consequences for his actions.
