Prestigious law firm Davis Polk rescinded job offers to three students who
led organizations at their respective universities, Harvard and Columbia,
that signed on to open letters criticizing Israel after the country was attacked by Hamas terrorists.

In an internal email viewed by FOX Business, Davis Polk chair and managing partner Neil Barr informed members of the New York-based firm Tuesday that
news of the firm revoking offers to the Ivy League law students over the
public statements "regarding the situation in Israel" would soon be
hitting the press.

"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 in the email.

Barr did not reveal the students' names or point to the specific letters,
but said the law firm was still in contact with two of the students and
may reconsider the hiring reversals if their explanations warrant doing
so.

"The views expressed in certain of the statements signed by law school
student organizations in recent days are in direct contravention of our
firm's value system," the law firm said in its official statement on the matter. "For this reason and to ensure we continue to maintain a
supportive and inclusive work environment, the student leaders responsible
for signing on to these statements are no longer welcome in our firm; and
their offers of employment have thus been rescinded."
