“The students object to their money being used to support the ‘Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions,’ campaign against Israel and other political positions taken by the union.”University of Chicago law students have filed a free speech lawsuit against their union due to its support for Israel boycotts.
The students object to their money being used to support the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions,” campaign against Israel and other political positions taken by the union. The law students, as research assistants, were quickly added into the union in March 2024 following a rapid vote. Less than 10 percent of UChicago law students voted in the election.
Both GSU and its parent union, the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America, support the boycott, which claims that Israel is an “apartheid regime” that has committed “ethnic cleansing” and is “occupying Palestine.” Similarly, the graduate union at the University of Chicago has joined “UChicago United for Palestine Coalition” and “reaffirmed” its commitment to BDS “just one week after the October 7 terrorist attacks,” according to the lawsuit.
The students filing the complaint depend on their jobs as teaching and research assistants to advance their careers and to provide for their education and cost-of-living expenses. And some, as the claim states, are “tortured as to how to weigh their consciences against their careers.”
