Georgia Alexakis, a U.S. district court judge, stated that “the plaintiffs have failed to establish the likelihood of success on the merits of the claims that they advance.”
Georgia Alexakis, a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, denied a restraining order, which the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sought to bar Northwestern University from mandating that students take Jew-hatred bias training.
The federal judge stated that CAIR “failed to establish the likelihood of success on the merits of the claims that they advance,” the Daily Northwestern, a student paper, reported on Tuesday.
CAIR and others filed a lawsuit in district court on Oct. 15 on behalf of Graduate Workers for Palestine, a student group at the school, and two doctoral students against the university. The suit alleged that the mandatory training violates federal civil rights law.
