Palestinian students sue Columbia University
A group of Palestinian students and staff at Columbia University filed a lawsuit in New York against the university, accusing it of engaging in discriminatory practices against the Palestinian community since late 2023. The allegations include the failure to protect Palestinians from harassment and subjecting them to unfair and biased hearings, with the university refusing to comment on the case. This was preceded by widespread protests at the university and across the United States, demanding an end to U.S. support for Israel and the withdrawal of investments from companies backing the occupation. These developments occur in the context of heightened tensions following the Israeli attack on Gaza and Palestinian protests both inside and outside the university.
