SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 21 – A New York University professor's motion to intervene in the lawsuit in which three students assert and try to prevent anti-Semitism at NYU was heard on March 21 - and denied, by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Loretta A. Preska. Inner City Press was there and live tweeted, here:
Prof. Andrew Ross' opposed motion to intervene is being argued and, it seems, ruled on.
Judge: Prof Ross' interest is too remote for automatic intervention. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin discrimination. They assert NYU has been deliberately indifferent over the past 5 months. They allege two dozen instances - they do not seek a speech code
Judge: Mandatory intervention is not warranted. There is no showing NYU is not representing Prof Ross' interest.
Ross' lawyer: I have another client, suspended under the IHRA definition.
Judge: There is no information about this new client.
But it seems Ross' lawyer will be submitting another motion, with this other client.
Inner City Press will remain on the case.
It is Ingber, et al., v. New York University, 23-cv-10023 (Preska)
