Five Columbia University students and graduates are seeking damages against those they say organized and backed anti-Israel encampments on campus.
Five Columbia University students and graduates filed a class action lawsuit on Monday against the students, activists and unions that they claim organized and backed anti-Israel encampments that forced the university campus to shut down at the end of the 2024 spring semester. The case, which includes Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y., Jamaal Bowman, N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, Minn.
This case is brought on behalf of the students who were forced to pay that high price by the tortious acts of on-campus students and faculty and their off-campus allies who conspired to organize and continue the two-week encampment. That encampment, and the safety threat that it created, forced Columbia to move classes online, restrict access to campus immediately before finals, and ultimately cancel commencement,' the suit states.
