A law firm has decided to stop conducting on-campus interviews at Harvard due to the congressional testimony of its president, Claudine Gay.
Gay appeared before the House Education and Workforce Committee earlier this month, and she avoided questions regarding students who advocate the “genocide of Jews” and whether they violate the school’s code of conduct. Instead, Gay said she thought any reference to genocide was “abhorrent.” As a result, Edelson Law canceled its spring interview program for next year.

Edelson Law wrote a letter informing Harvard’s director of recruitment and operations of its decision on Thursday. The plaintiff firm does not typically comment on issues but said in this case that “silence is not an option.”
“We, along with the rest of the nation, observed Dr. Claudine Gay’s testimony before Congress, wherein she refused to unequivocally state that advocating for genocide would breach the school’s code of conduct,” the letter read. “As an expert in political and social studies, Dr. Gay certainly knew to expect the types of questions that would be asked of her.”
“Factoring in her extensive experience and preparation with a crisis management team, Dr. Gay’s testimony before Congress cannot be seen as merely a slip of the tongue,” it continued.
The firm has earned $45 billion for its clients in its history. Some of the notable settlements included the $6.5 million case against Facebook and the $10 million case against Roblox. According to its website, there are six Harvard graduates employed there.

Harvard students can apply to work at Edelson outside of campus interviews.
Gay continues to face calls to resign. Harvard named Gay its president in July and has remained resolute in keeping her in the position.
