A Los Angeles federal district court ordered the University of California, Los Angeles, to stop assisting antisemitic agitators to ban Jews from large parts of UCLA’s campus.
In Frankel v. Regents of the University of California, Becket and co-counsel Clement & Murphy PLLC filed a lawsuit against UCLA after it helped a group of activists as they set up encampments barring Jewish students from accessing classes, the library, and other critical parts of campus – unless they denounced their faith. In a strongly worded decision, US District Court judge Mark Scarsi described the violations as “unimaginable and ... abhorrent to our constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.”
