Summary
In November 2023, the Brandeis Center sued the University of California, Berkeley, alleging that the University’s law school did not act against the anti-Zionism bylaws that 23 student groups passed since the Oct.7 attacks. The University moved for a motion to dismiss, arguing that exercising disciplinary action over these student organizations would be unconstitutional as it violates the students’ First Amendment rights. The University held that while the school is committed to confronting antisemitism, it nonetheless cannot go beyond denouncing these bylaws. The case is still developing.
