Our class action is on file. We are representing Columbia University students who have been displaced from campus because the school could not guarantee their safety.

We support peaceful protests but when a sliver of them invites and engages in violence including saying all "Zionist's" (read "Jews") should be killed and calls for terrorists attacks on American soil, that has no place in our country. It also detracts from important debates our nation should be having.

Columbia has long boasted a strong DEI program that prevents the targeting of vulnerable groups.

Our suit alleges it needs to enforce its policies and let students feel free to study, take finals and otherwise be students without worrying they will be assaulted.

We are proceeding on a breach of contract theory and are seek in immediate injunctive relief.
The suit was filed minutes ago federal court. (The Southern District of NY.). Our named plaintiff is proceeding as a Jane Doe due to safety concerns.

Good article by my friend Jeff Jacobson @FaegreDrinker.

Some solid points and some responses. A thread.

Class Action Defense Lawyers Do Talk About Claim Rates at.law.com/HdVT7W?cmp=sha… via @TheNLJ
First, no one is calling for "universal minimums" for claims rates. That's what the old folk call a "straw man" argument.
Second, people have to stop calling our Facebook settlement an outlier. As we have detailed in both written form (law360.com/articles/14706…) and rap, our firm and others are routinely getting large claims rates in settlements.
