3月19日（路透社）- 加州大学伯克利分校同意加强校园内反犹主义的保护措施，以解决一起指控该校对犹太学生和教职员工容忍“持续不断”骚扰的诉讼。
周四达成的和解协议解决了由非营利组织路易斯·D·布兰代斯中心和犹太美国人教育公平协会于2023年11月提起的诉讼，此前哈马斯对以色列发动袭击一个月后，该校发生了针对犹太人的骚扰和其他所谓虐待事件。

加州大学伯克利分校被指控对长期存在的反犹主义视而不见，包括反以色列抗议活动以及排斥支持以色列或犹太复国主义的演讲者。
布兰代斯中心表示，和解协议禁止学生团体、期刊和诊所排斥任何参与者或演讲者，无论其是否支持以色列或犹太复国主义，并且禁止一系列团体在其章程中纳入此类排斥条款。
其他变化包括对教职员工进行反犹主义和反歧视的强制培训，改进投诉处理流程，并聘请一名官员确保遵守美国法律，该法律禁止在接受联邦资金的项目中基于种族、肤色和民族血统进行歧视。加州大学伯克利分校还将支付布兰代斯中心100万美元的法律费用。

和解协议是在联邦法官近一年前拒绝驳回该诉讼后达成的，法官称原告合理指控犹太学生和教授因是犹太人而受到不同对待，且该校“故意漠不关心”。
包括特朗普政府在内的许多美国顶尖高校被指控容忍或鼓励反犹主义以及处理抗议活动不当。
布兰代斯中心已就类似诉讼与包括哈佛大学在内的其他几所学校达成和解。
加州大学伯克利分校称犹太人应感到安全、受尊重
加州大学伯克利分校在一份声明中表示，和解协议体现了该校打击校园内“令人憎恶的”反犹主义言论、骚扰和歧视的承诺。该校约有46,000名本科和研究生。
“加州大学伯克利分校现在是并将继续是一个犹太学生、教职员工能够蓬勃发展、感到安全、受尊重并拥有真正归属感的地方，”该校补充道。
加州大学系统的管理机构——加州大学董事会在同意和解时否认了责任。
“伯克利发生的事情是一个警示，”布兰代斯中心主席肯尼思·马库斯在一份声明中表示。“大学、工会、企业和政党不能为其行为准则创建反犹太复国主义例外。”
原投诉称，加州大学伯克利分校法学院“不少于23个团体”有反犹政策，例如要求受邀演讲者否认犹太复国主义，并迫使一些犹太学生参加强调以色列所谓合法性的培训。
“自这个问题出现以来，我的立场从未动摇，”厄文·切梅林斯基院长周四在致法学院社区的信中写道。“学生组织有权根据自己的观点选择演讲者，但我认为这些章程与法学院致力于成为一个所有观点和想法都能得到表达的地方的承诺不符。”

March 19 (Reuters) – The University of California, Berkeley, agreed to tighten protections against antisemitism on campus to settle a lawsuit accusing the school of tolerating an “unrelenting” stream of harassment toward Jewish students and faculty.
Thursday’s settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit Louis D. Brandeis Center and Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education in November 2023, following harassment and other alleged mistreatment of Jews in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel a month earlier.

UC Berkeley was accused of turning a blind eye to long-festering antisemitism, including anti-Israel protests and the exclusion of speakers who support Israel or Zionism.
The Brandeis Center said the settlement prohibits student groups, journals and clinics from excluding anyone from participating or speaking regardless of their support for Israel and Zionism, and an array of groups from including such exclusions in their bylaws.
Other changes include mandatory antisemitism and anti-discrimination training for faculty and staff, an improved process to handle complaints, and hiring an officer to ensure compliance with a U.S. law prohibiting discrimination based on race, color and national origin in programs receiving federal funding. UC Berkeley will also pay $1 million of the Brandeis Center’s legal bills.

The settlement came nearly one year after a federal judge refused to dismiss the lawsuit, saying the plaintiffs plausibly alleged that Jewish students and professors were treated differently because they were Jewish, and the university was “deliberately indifferent.”
Many top U.S. colleges and universities have been accused, including by the Trump administration, of tolerating or encouraging antisemitism and mishandling protests.
The Brandeis Center has settled similar lawsuits against several other schools, including Harvard University.
UC BERKELEY SAYS JEWS SHOULD FEEL SAFE, RESPECTED
In a statement, UC Berkeley said the settlement reflects its commitment to combatting “abhorrent” antisemitic expression, harassment and discrimination on campus. The school has about 46,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
“UC Berkeley is and will continue to be a place where Jewish students, staff and faculty can thrive and feel safe, respected, and a true sense of belonging,” it added.
The Regents of the University of California, the governing body for the University of California system, denied liability in agreeing to settle.
“What happened at Berkeley is a cautionary tale,” Brandeis Center Chairman Kenneth Marcus said in a statement. “Universities, unions, corporations, and political parties cannot create an anti-Zionist exception to their conduct codes.”
The original complaint said “no fewer” than 23 groups at UC Berkeley’s law school had anti-Jewish policies, such as requiring invited speakers to repudiate Zionism, and forcing some Jewish students to undergo training that emphasized Israel’s supposed illegitimacy.
“My position since this issue emerged has not wavered,” Dean Erwin Chemerinsky wrote in a letter to the law school community on Thursday. “Student organizations have the First Amendment right to choose speakers based on their views, but I believe that these bylaws are inconsistent with the law school’s commitment to be a place where all ideas and views can be expressed.”
