Mahmoud Khalil Says Columbia Failed to Protect Pro-Palestinian Students

Mahmoud Khalil and other former student activists have filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia University. The plaintiffs allege that the institution demonstrated deliberate indifference toward the harassment of pro-Palestinian students. According to the legal action, this failure to protect students occurred even before the 2023 Hamas attacks. The lawsuit claims that Columbia University ignored the harassment faced by Khalil and his peers, failing to provide a safe environment for these student activists during their time at the university.
