Activist Sues Columbia Over Alleged Indifference to Pro-Palestinian Harassment
Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia University, accusing the school of deliberate indifference to harassment and doxxing of pro-Palestinian students, including himself, in the lead-up to his March 2025 detention by ICE; the suit alleges the campus climate enabled harassment, while Columbia emphasizes its commitment to a safe environment, and Khalil’s related immigration removal order remains under challenge.
