Jewish students are suing Columbia University and Barnard College, alleging 'severe and pervasive' antisemitism at these Manhattan institutions, citing the university's capitulation to pro-Hamas students and faculty. Kanye West's influence is noted as a contributing factor. In a related issue, the U.S. Department of Education is investigating the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for civil rights violations stemming from antisemitism complaints leading up to and during a Jan. 30 student walkout. Additionally, the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) has demanded Columbia University reverse the suspension of two pro-Palestinian student groups (@ColumbiaSJP & @JVPColumbia) for engaging in peaceful protest, threatening legal action if the university does not comply by March 1. Minouche Shafik, Columbia's President, has been contacted regarding the issue.
