13 Federal Judges Refuse to Hire Columbia Grads Over Antisemitism: School is ‘Incubator of Bigotry’Katherine Hamilton 7 May 2024
More than a dozen federal judges said they will no longer hire Columbia University students, calling the school an “incubator of bigotry.”
Thirteen federal judges sent a letter to Columbia University President Minouche Shafik and Columbia Law School Dean Gillian Lester on May 6, notifying them of their decision to boycott the school and offering suggestions as to how the university may reclaim its “once distinguished reputation.” Two of the judges who signed onto the letter, Judge James Ho from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and Judge Elizabeth Branch for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, have previously boycotted Yale and Stanford graduates, citing the schools’ animosity toward conservative views.
“Considering recent events, and absent extraordinary change, we will not hire anyone who joins the Columbia University community—whether as undergraduates or law students— beginning with the entering class of 2024,” the letter reads.
“Justice William Brennan refused to hire law clerks from Harvard Law School because he disliked criticisms of the Supreme Court by some of its faculty. The objective of our boycott is different—it is not to hamper academic freedom, but to restore it at Columbia University,” the federal judges continued.
