Columbia Sued Over Student Harassment | Portland Maine News

A Columbia University student is suing the school in federal court, accusing it of turning a blind eye to escalating harassment against pro-Palestinian students — ultimately leading to his arrest by ICE and deportation attempt. The lawsuit claims Columbia’s inaction enabled coordinated doxxing, campus surveillance, NYPD involvement in clearing encampments, and discriminatory disciplinary actions targeting Arab and Muslim students. While the university maintains its commitment to safety and inclusion, this high-stakes legal battle exposes deep tensions over how universities respond to student activism and protect marginalized voices.
