Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil sued Columbia University on Monday, alleging it failed to address harassment against him and other members of a pro-Palestinian campus group and retaliated against them when they reported it. "No student, regardless of their background, should ever have to go through the hell we went through over the past three years," Khalil said. "It is time to hold those who discriminate against Palestinians accountable." The university declined to comment on the lawsuit, but said in a statement that "creating a campus environment where every member of our community feels welcome, supported, and safe is fundamental to who we are as a University." #NY1 #NYC #News #palestine #education #politics -------- For more on this and the latest NYC news: http://specne.ws/NY1YT Watch live news: http://specne.ws/YTliveSN Get the Spectrum News App on all your favorite devices: http://specne.ws/GetSNApp2
