Major law firm ends on-campus Harvard recruiting after president's response to genocide of Jews

Edelson PC, a major national law firm representing plaintiffs, said it will no longer participate in on-campus recruiting events at Harvard Law School, citing how the university president refused to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews before Congress. “Regrettably, I must address a recent incident that has deeply concerned us. We, along with the rest of the nation, observed Dr. Claudine Gay’s testimony before Congress, wherein she refused to unequivocally state that advocating for genocide would breach the school’s code of conduct,” the law firm’s founder, Jay Edelson, wrote in a letter last week to Harvard Law’s recruitment office. Additionally, because Gay’s colleagues had been asked the same question before Gay and she had time to prepare with a crisis management team before the hearing, her answer “cannot be seen as merely a slip of the tongue,” Edelson also said
