"Law firm Davis Polk revokes job offers to Harvard, Columbia students over Israel statements," 18 Oct. 2023

... U.S. law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell on Tuesday rescinded job offers to law students who signed on to public statements supporting Palestine in the wake of Hamas’ deadly attacks in Israel, following a similar move by fellow law firm Winston & Strawn ... .

... “These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” Barr wrote.

A Davis Polk spokesperson on Tuesday declined to identify the students whose offers had been rescinded or what campus groups they were with.

Barr’s email said the firm is remaining “in dialogue” with two of the students to consider any additional information they may offer, suggesting that they could be brought back on board.
