""This settlement will make it impossible for the students on the Berkeley campus who we represent to speak openly and freely," attorney Shanta Driver said."
"The settlement requires UC Berkeley to implement mandatory anti-discrimination training."
"A university spokesperson says the settlement builds upon work already underway to combat antisemitism."
UC Berkeley is facing criticism for a proposed $1 million settlement related to a lawsuit claiming it did not protect Jewish students from antisemitism during protests linked to the Israel-Hamas war in 2023. Jewish groups involved in the lawsuit are urging a judge to reject the settlement, arguing it would hinder free speech for students. The settlement includes mandatory anti-discrimination training, which the university states is part of ongoing efforts to address antisemitism on campus.
