Student at School of the Art Institute of Chicago Files Lawsuit Against School Over Allegations of Anti-Semitism
A student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has filed a lawsuit against the school over allegations of anti-Semitism.
The plaintiff, referred to as Shiran to protect her identity, is an Israeli and Jewish woman who enrolled in the fall to study art therapy.
The lawsuit was filed in late December and accuses the school of “pervasive and severe antisemitic harassment” and includes at least a half dozen incidents.
In one such incident, a professor is accused of deliberately altered a final assignment so that it “uniquely targeted” the Jewish student.
It is alleged that a professor in the Art Therapy and Counseling program announced a revision to a final assignment.
