David Lourie stepped down as the head of Collegiate School after an internal audit revealed religious and cultural bias problems at the school. The audit was commissioned to address concerns about antisemitism and Islamophobia.
A gender discrimination lawsuit was filed against Collegiate and Mr. Lourie by one of the school's deans, claiming Mr. Lourie dismissed the audit findings as a joke and power play by Jewish families.
Collegiate, like other private schools in NYC, faced disagreements over addressing issues related to the Israel-Hamas war. Parents, teachers, and students debated appropriate ways for schools to handle these topics.
