Pro-Palestine NYU Law Student Speaks Out After Job Offer Was Rescinded

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:54:00 GMT

Three days after Hamas’s attack on Israel, New York University Law School student body president Ryna Workman sent a newsletter to classmates expressing “unwavering and absolute solidarity with Palestinians in their resistance against oppression toward liberation and self-determination.” Workman assigned the blame for “this tremendous loss of life” to Israel’s apartheid regime over Palestinians, while not mentioning Hamas, whose attack killed some 1,300 Israelis.Workman told The Intercept that the intention was an intra-community message that spoke to Israel’s 75-year violent regime over Palestine and expressed support for Palestinians’ basic human rights. Yet the newsletter drew widespread criticism for not directly condemning Hamas’s killing of Israeli civilians — and the backlash was swift. Workman was ousted as student body president; had a job offer rescinded by a firm they previously interned at, Winston & Strawn; and received a litany of threats online.Workman told The In...

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens closed out this game just fine.There was a brief stretch in the third quarter when another lead started slipping away, but Jackson steadied his team quickly and the Ravens went on to a 24-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in London.“The margin is very thin in this league. It’s razor thin,” Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said Monday after returning to the U.S. “Everybody is right around .500 or just above .500 or just below .500 — in terms of talent and ability and coaching and all that other kind of stuff — so the difference is week to week.“It’s your ability to persist, overcome, come up with a good game plan, execute the game plan, and then really make plays.”Baltimore (4-2) leads the AFC North, although the Ravens feel their start could have even better. Mistakes and late-game mismanagement led to losses to Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, the latter of which came a week before the matchup with the Tita...
