TIM DOE…and all others similarly situated, v. OCASIO-CORTEZ, OMAR, and BOWMAN…

This case is brought on behalf of the students who were forced to pay that high price by the tortious acts of on-campus students and faculty and their off-campus allies who conspired to organize and continue the two-week encampment. That encampment, and the safety threat that it created, forced Columbia to move classes online, restrict access to campus immediately before finals, and ultimately cancel commencement. Those were real damages sustained by the 36,000 students at Columbia who chose to obey university rules, go to class, and pursue their education, only to be frustrated at the finish line by the tortious acts of their classmates and professors, with the assistance and encouragement of outside activists.
