Dartmouth rejects claims Jews blocked man's admission, judge calls safety fears ‘not credible’

A lawsuit filed in the US District Court in Concord alleges a global conspiracy of "Jewish supremacists" is responsible for a Los Angeles man's rejection from Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business. The plaintiff, who filed under the pseudonym John Doe, claims his physical safety would be threatened if he proceeded anonymously, citing the unfounded belief that "Jews commonly harm or murder their opposers."

Doe does assert that his physical safety will be threatened if he is not allowed to proceed pseudonymously because ‘Jews commonly harm or murder their opposers.’ But, those allegations, unsupported by any particularized evidentiary showing, are, to put it charitably, not credible.

Judge Stephen McAuliffe rejected these safety concerns, ruling that there is no compelling legal reason for the lawsuit to proceed anonymously. McAuliffe described the plaintiff's allegations as "not credible," lacking any particularized evidentiary showing. The plaintiff's original complaint asserts that Dartmouth denied his admission despite strong academic qualifications, including a GMAT score higher than 99% of test-takers and an undergraduate GPA within the normal range for admitted students.

The plaintiff claims he was rejected because he is a White gentile, alleging that "Nearly all 'White' students at Dartmouth... are Jews" and that non-Jewish Whites are largely excluded unless they meet specific criteria like being female, queer, or a veteran. His complaint is filled with antisemitic and unsubstantiated claims, including assertions that Jews oppressed ancient Egyptians, the Holocaust is fictional, and Jews murdered President John F. Kennedy.

Plaintiff applied with a GMAT test score higher than 99% of test-takers and higher than approximately 95% of 2024’s entering class. Plaintiff applied with an undergraduate GPA within the normal range of admitted students and a long career of impressive and unique accomplishments. Despite Plaintiff’s outstanding qualifications, Dartmouth notified Plaintiff on May 2, 2024, that his application for admission was denied.

This is not the plaintiff's only legal action; he has filed similar lawsuits against Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, all blaming "Jewish supremacists" for his MBA program rejections. Judges in these other cases have also ruled against his anonymity. The plaintiff argues that proceeding without anonymity puts his career and life in danger due to the alleged influence of "powerful Jews around the world," claiming "HR Jews" would prevent him from being hired in traditional jobs.

Nearly all ‘White’ students at Dartmouth, including the business school, are Jews. Non-Jewish Whites are nearly completely excluded from admission unless they meet a few criteria that are not required of Jews or non-Whites: they must be female, they must be queer, or they must be veterans of the US armed forces.
