Lawsuit claims Columbia neglects pro-Palestine students

Student activist Mahmoud Khalil and other supporters of the Palestinians have filed a lawsuit against Columbia University, accusing it of ongoing neglect of the harassment they faced due to their pro-Palestinian activism. The lawsuit states that the university failed to protect students from threats and harassment based on their Arab or Muslim background, and that protests supporting Palestine were treated as security threats, with policies being amended to suppress any criticism of Israel's military actions on campus. Khalil pointed out that the university exhibited bias against Palestinians, and that he began reporting the harassment in spring 2023, before the outbreak of the Gaza war, but did not receive a proper response. The protests caused divisions within the university, leading to resignations, and Khalil faces the possibility of deportation following a court conviction related to several cases against him, including his arrest in the U.S. and a lawsuit filed against the university to access his disciplinary records.
