EVANSTON, Ill. -- The pro-Palestinian tent encampment at Northwestern University came down weeks ago when protesters and the university came to an agreement – but up against the now-quiet backdrop of the Evanston campus, the controversy continues.Northwestern and its leaders are facing a new lawsuit seeking class-action status, saying the university has failed to protect Jewish students from severe antisemitic harassment.The lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Chicago.
'The university has an obligation under its own policies, as well as the Civil Rights Act, to ensure the First Amendment of these students does not overtake the university's obligation to ensure that Jewish students have a safe environment for their educational experience,' Lindenfeld said.The lawsuit comes weeks after Northwestern reached a deal with student protesters – ending the encampment at Deering Meadow.
