Sullivan & Cromwell, a Wall Street law firm, has established a policy regarding hiring individuals involved in campus protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The firm holds applicants accountable for others' actions and deems certain protest slogans unacceptable.
“It is important for any employer, particularly law firms, to make sure that they are using all the means at their disposal to confirm that applicants… align with their values,” says @ADL CEO @JGreenblattADL on a top law firm scrutinizing anti-Israel protest participation. https://t.co/V2Mv4rdOyj

“Sullivan & Cromwell’s policy stands out because of the way it holds applicants accountable for the actions of others, and considers commonly used protest slogans to be out of bounds.” Wonder what Ronald Dworkin would make of his old law firm’s policy. https://t.co/at2WJbc9sT
