Columbia's Complicity in Khalil's Ordeal Exposes a Deeper Problem The lawsuit filed by pro Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil against Columbia University and its dean, Keren Yarhi Milo, is more than just a complaint about institutional racism.
It's a symptom of a larger issue that has been festering on college campuses for years: the willingness to sacrifice students' rights in the name of political expediency.
The case against Columbia centers on Khalil's claim that the university's deliberate indifference and discrimination created an environment conducive to his targeting by the Trump administration.
