Wow. I’m not sure that there is a maximum penalty that can be assigned in a libel case as severe as this. His attorney could claim the entire Rutgers endowment. And should.
As a minimum, the students responsible should be dismissed from working for the newspaper, a letter of reprimand should be placed in their permanent transcripts, and they should face severe civil penalties, fines amounting to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plus being labeled by the university as “antisemites” and expelled.
Seriously, that attorney should go for the gold with this one.
I don’t know, Rutgers is a state university—and don’t states usually put caps on their own liability?
They should never has used a real students name or photo in that article.
