   Prestigious law firm Davis Polk rescinded job offers to three students who   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   their offers of employment have thus been rescinded."
