StandWithUs partners with Dhillon Law Group in Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit Against The New School for Enabling Antisemitic Harassment and Retaliating Against One of its Victims


On April 8, 2025, the Dhillon Law Group, in partnership with StandWithUs Saidoff Legal, filed a lawsuit in federal district court seeking redress for New York’s The New School’s wanton mishandling of antisemitic harassment on its campus. The lawsuit alleges that in December 2023, anti-Israel agitators blocked and physically shoved a student out of a university building under the mistaken perception that the student was Jewish and therefore a “Zio.” The agitators subsequently harassed the student online with a campaign of antisemitic slurs and false accusations. Rather than take action against the harassers, The New School subjected their victim to a disciplinary investigation for months, playing fast-and-loose with its own procedures and causing serious harm to the student in the process.
