This case challenged UC Berkeley for allegedly permitting a hostile antisemitic environment on its campus and failing to implement policies that would protect Jewish students from threats, intimidation, and harassment by registered student organizations. Defendants’ alleged actions were said to have contributed to the assault of a Jewish student by a student organization leader. Other cases involving universities’ responses to speech and activity concerning Israel and Palestine, including matters involving antisemitism and/or anti-Palestinian expression, can be found here

On March 4, 2011, a Jewish student at UC Berkeley filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Regents of the University of California, UC Berkeley, university leadership, the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC), and its ASUC Auxiliary. The plaintiff brought claims under the First Amendment, Cal. Const. art. I, § 4, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, negligence and premises liability, California Civil Code §§ 51, 51.5, 51.7, 52, 52.1, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, breach of fiduciary duty, and California Government Code § 11135. The plaintiff sought damages and attorneys’ fees. The case was assigned to Judge Richard Seeborg.

In the complaint, the plaintiff alleged that the defendants violated her First Amendment rights by allowing a hostile campus environment that limited her ability to practice and express her Jewish faith. She also claimed violations of the California Constitution for restricting her religious expression and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for depriving her of federally protected rights to religious exercise and assembly. Additionally, she argued the university failed its duty to provide a safe campus, allowed discriminatory harassment under California Civil Code, and showed deliberate indifference to antisemitic harassment in violation of Title VI. The complaint further claimed breach of fiduciary duty, since she was a minor, and violation of California Government Code for interfering with her religious practice in a state-funded program.

The plaintiff filed a first amended complaint on May 18, 2011. The revised complaint, among other things, removed the breach of fiduciary duty and negligence/premises liability claims, added a request for injunctive relief, joined an additional plaintiff, and expanded the factual record.

On June 23, 2011, ASUC filed a motion to dismiss. Separately, the remaining defendants (the Regents of the University of California and individual university officials) filed a motion to dismiss on July 5, 2011.

The court granted both motions to dismiss on December 22, 2011. The First Amendment and § 1983 claims were dismissed without leave to amend for failure to allege any deprivation of freedom of assembly and because state actors had no constitutional duty to prevent private interference with others’ rights. The Title VI claim against the Regents of the University of California and the individual defendants was dismissed with leave to amend due to protected speech concerns and the plaintiffs’ failure to allege severe and pervasive harassment, denial of educational access, or deliberate indifference. All federal claims against ASUC were dismissed without leave to amend because the plaintiffs showed no basis for holding ASUC responsible for controlling the conduct of third parties. The court declined to reach the state law claims, which could have been re-pleaded in an amended complaint. 851 F. Supp. 2d 1182.

On January 6, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. Among other changes, the revised complaint removed all defendants except the Regents of the University of California, eliminated the state law claims, bolstered the remaining claims, and added a Fourteenth Amendment claim asserting that the defendant denied Jewish students equal protection by failing to adequately address anti-Semitic harassment, while providing greater protection to Black and female students from less severe harassment.

On June 20, 2012, the court was informed that the parties had reached a settlement agreement. Although the terms of the settlement have not been publicly disclosed, the Daily Californian reported that “[f]ollowing the settlement of a lawsuit alleging that demonstrations on the UC Berkeley campus created a hostile environment for Jewish students, the campus is considering changes to its policy for public expression.” Accordingly, the court entered an order dismissing the action with prejudice on July 24, 2012. 

This case is now closed.
