“One of the students who led Columbia University’s anti-Israel encampment in the spring is suing the Ivy League school for suspending him over hateful video in which he declares, ‘Zionists don’t deserve to live’. Khymani James, 21, of Boston was denied due process and fair treatment when suspended — a violation of university policy, according to his Sept. 27 Manhattan Supreme Court filing. The decision to suspend James from campus in April was made mostly because of media pressure, and he also was unfairly targeted because his is black and pro-Palestine, the court document said. James’[s] suspension ‘inflamed the hatred’ toward him on the Morningside Heights campus, the lawsuit added. The student activist suggested in his suit that university officials ‘routinely privileges students who support Israel over those who do not, rewarding bad faith behavior and in fact turning a blind eye to violations of the student code by Israel supporters.'” (10/01/24)
