Judge Mark C. Scarsi stated that U.C.L.A. administrators must ensure equal access to campus for Jewish students, hence barring antisemitic encampments that denied them access.
The judge emphasized that the exclusion of Jewish students from parts of the campus due to their faith is a violation of the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.
Lawyers representing the Jewish students termed the injunction as the first of its kind against an antisemitic protest, highlighting a significant legal precedent.
The events at U.C.L.A. reflect a broader national tension, where protests against Israel have been met with claims of harassment and intimidation faced by Jewish students.
