Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, has filed a lawsuit against Columbia University and its dean alleging institutional racism targeting pro-Palestine students, Al Jazeera English reported. The suit centers on claims that the university has systematically discriminated against students engaged in pro-Palestinian activism on campus.
