Cooper Union reached a settlement with Jewish students who alleged the college tolerated discrimination after a pro-Palestinian demonstration blocked access to a campus library, according to reporting from the college and press outlets. The agreement requires policy changes around protests and campus access and comes amid renewed scrutiny of how institutions balance free expression with nondiscrimination obligations. College leaders said the settlement includes alterations to protest management and training; student advocates and civil-liberties groups are evaluating whether the revisions will change enforcement and oversight on campus.
