The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law announced the agreement on Thursday that supposedly resolved its lawsuit against Berkeley Law over student organizations that banned Zionist speakers. The settlement stipulates that student groups cannot include “prohibitions on speakers” in their bylaws, including those with a Zionist viewpoint. Shortly after the settlement announcement, however, law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky told students in an email obtained by the Free Beacon that while bylaws must change, student groups can nonetheless maintain restrictions on speakers. “Simply put,” Chemerinsky wrote, “student organizations may continue to have the same policies that they have adopted restricting who they will invite to speak, but those policies cannot be contained within their Bylaws.” Chemerinsky’s interpretation drew a sharp rebuke from the Brandeis Center. Attorney Paul Eckles, who led the case, told the Free Beacon the dean’s guidance is “plainly wrong” and inconsistent with the language and intent of the agreement. “The whole purpose of the agreement is to make clear that anti-Zionism can be and is often used as a pretext for discrimination,” Eckles said. “Dean Chemerinsky’s email is wrong, and we will be addressing the issue with the university.” READ MORE: ‘Plainly Wrong’: Berkeley Law Dean Accused of Violating Settlement Agreement Over ‘Anti-Zionist’ Student Group Bylaws
