In an unexpected turn of events, the Student Bar Association (SBA) at New York University’s School of Law has disbanded following a controversy surrounding a pro-Palestine message sent out by its former president. The message, delivered via the SBA newsletter on October 10, led to the departure of all seven members of the SBA, including its president, Ryna Workman. Learn more about the initial incident from the Washington Square News, NYU’s student newspaper.
This move comes shortly after the original message was disseminated, with the remaining members citing a “persisting risk to student safety” as the primary reason for their resignation. The group collectively announced their departure in a statement released to the NYU Law community.
Further details on the matter can be found in the full post on Law.com. Moving forward, the implications of this unexpected dissolution remain to be seen.
