University Of Oregon Law Review Accused of Anti-Israel Discrimination
“[T]he University of Oregon is presently engaged in a pattern of stonewalling and refusals to address complaints of unlawful anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli harassment and discrimination on campus.”
We’ve seen this same accusation at a number of law schools.
From the Volokh Conspiracy at Reason:
Update: Alleged Anti-Israel Discrimination At University Of Oregon Law Review
[I]n February this year the University of Oregon received a complaint charging unlawful discrimination at the University Oregon Law Review. The Review rejected an article by an Israeli professor—who also teaches in the U.S.—because she is a faculty member at Tel Aviv University.. The editors’ sense of impunity was such that the discriminatory decision was put in writing. When another editor raised the alarm about the legality of the action, a high-ranking member of the law school administration was consulted and then approved the discrimination. Today, six months after the University received the complaint about this discrimination—which allegedly violated a slew of laws and regulations—no known adverse action has been taken against anyone involved, and the high-ranking official is still holding her prominent position at the law school. …
[T]he University of Oregon is presently engaged in a pattern of stonewalling and refusals to address complaints of unlawful anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli harassment and discrimination on campus. This may be unsurprising, given that University of Oregon officials are often themselves the perpetrators of such acts. …
As for the attempt to bury the investigation at the Oregon Law Review: The University of Oregon—a public educational institution entrusted, among other things, with educating the next generation of American lawyers—is engaged in a blatant cover-up of seemingly unlawful actions perpetrated by students and administration officials at the law school. What kind of a message does this send to America’s future lawyers and judges? What are University of Oregon law students to think when their own university acts lawlessly?
In his recent commencement address, University of Oregon president Karl Scholz sanctimoniously called on the graduating students to “stay true to [their] values.” We are left to hope that their values are different than his.

Maybe the federal judges who are not hiring from Columbia or Stanford will decide not to hire from Oregon (though those students might not rank highly enough anyway to compete for prestigious clerkships), or maybe a federal judge would refuse to recognize the bar admission of anyone who participated in the Oregon Law Review decision.
If I was CEO of a company I would not pay for any trips by employees to New York City, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, and all of California. Due to how dangerous it is in these locations, only Zoom would work. I’d be worried about my employees, especially those who are Jewish and Christian.
I’m all for shutting down ALL law schools for 10 years. Then only open four or five.
