Palestinian Student Sues Columbia Over Alleged Campus Discrimination

Palestinian Columbia SIPA student Mahmoud Khalil sues Columbia University and its leadership, alleging a years-long pattern of anti-Palestinian discrimination and failure to protect students from harassment, tied to his March 2025 immigration detention and ongoing pro-Palestinian activism; the 60-page complaint in SDNY names the university, its board, and Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, and sits alongside Khalil’s broader litigation against the Trump administration and pro-Israel groups over alleged targeting of pro-Palestinian advocates.
