Hillel

Hillel filed and later withdrew a legal brief supporting Harvard in its legal dispute with Donald Trump over antisemitism allegations. A Jewish group stated the brief was filed 'without having gone through our internal review process,' and the lawyer argued funding freezes harm Jewish students.

UC Regent Jay Sures criticized UCLA undergraduate student government for condemning Hillel's invitation of a former Israeli hostage from the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack. The controversy centers on the student government's response to the event and subsequent backlash.
