A judge denied efforts to block Northwestern’s anti-bias training for grad students, saying it doesn’t endorse content and poses no immediate harm.
A federal judge has denied a request to block Northwestern University from disciplining graduate students who refuse to complete a mandatory anti-bias training, ruling that requiring students to watch the video does not constitute endorsement of its content and finding no immediate evidence of irreparable harm.
The training, developed with the Jewish United Fund and launched in February, addresses antisemitism, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian bias, and campus conduct, and was prompted by federal pressure and a $790 million funding freeze over campus antisemitism concerns.
Plaintiffs, including graduate students and CAIR, argue the training unfairly labels pro-Palestinian speech as antisemitic, threatens free expression, and could lead to loss of funding and student status.
The university maintains the program promotes inclusivity without restricting political speech.
The case continues.
