The attorney representing three graduates of Columbia University and two current students in a suit against pro-Palestinian protest organizers said his Jewish clients had a “jarring” experience when the Ivy League campus was occupied by protestors during the Spring semester.

The five plaintiffs sued students, activists, unions, and three members of Congress on Aug. 5, alleging they were denied access to in-person classes, campus facilities, and graduation and experienced bullying and harassment.
