students-file-suit

Days after reaching an agreement with organizers of a pro-Palestinian
encampment, Northwestern University is facing heavy backlash, with three
Jewish organizations calling for the school�s president to resign.

And three Jewish students have filed suit against NU over the encampment,
alleging they have been harassed and subjected to hateful rhetoric.

Organizers had established the encampment to express support for
Palestinian people and to call on the university to cut financial ties
with Israel.

They described Monday�s agreement as a �meaningful first step to
divestment.� It requires the university administration to disclose
information about any investments to those associated with the school and
re-establishes a committee to advise on investments, a panel that will
include student representation. The university also agreed to take steps
to better support Palestinian students on campus and allow protests to
continue until June 1.

�I am proud of our community for achieving what has been a challenge
across the country, a sustainable, de-escalated path forward,�
Northwestern President Michael Schill said in a video announcing the
agreement. �One that prioritizes safety; safety for all of our students,
for all of our Jewish students, for all of our Muslim students. All of our
students.�

The encampment was organized five days ago by Educators for Justice in
Palestine, Student Liberation Union and the school�s chapter of Jewish
Voice for Peace.

But three Jewish groups � ADL Midwest, StandWithUs and the Louis D.
Brandeis Center � counter that the deal shows Schill is not fit to lead
the university.

ADL Midwest dubbed it �reprehensible and dangerous.�

�For the last seven months � and longer � Jewish Northwestern students
have been harassed and intimated by blatant antisemitism on campus,
worsening since October 7,� said the organizations in a statement. �It is
clear from President Schill�s actions that he is unfit to lead
Northwestern and must resign.�

On Wednesday afternoon, three Jewish students identified only as Jane Doe,
John Doe 1 and John Doe 2, filed a lawsuit against the university,
alleging harassment by members of the encampment.

The lawsuit filed in Cook County Court condemns the university for
allowing the encampment on campus, alleging it violated multiple
Northwestern policies. But rather than enforce school policy,
�Northwestern twisted itself into a pretzel to accommodate� the
encampment, the complaint alleges.

The three students allege seeing and hearing hateful rhetoric, including
the slogan �From the River to the Sea.�

Northwestern didn�t respond immediately to requests for comment.

In establishing their encampment, Northwestern students joined over 100
university campuses nationwide organizing in support of Palestinians
living in Gaza. Earlier this week, students at the University of Chicago
and DePaul University also joined the effort.

While Northwestern�s encampment was met with some counter-protests, it has
seen no arrests, citations or suspensions.

This was not the case on campuses across the country. Tuesday night, at
Columbia University in New York City, university President Minouche Shafik
authorized the New York Police Department �to clear all individuals from
Hamilton Hall and all campus encampments,� according to the Columbia
Spectator.

Student journalists observed officers pushing protesters to the ground and
slamming them with metal barricades. There were at least 109 individuals
arrested at Columbia and 282 total arrests made when including those from
City Colleges of New York, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD
officials shared in a press conference Wednesday morning.
