Detained activist Khalil sues to bar Columbia from sharing disciplinary records

Mahmoud Khalil and seven current students sued Columbia University to prevent the school from sharing disciplinary records with a House committee, claiming the request violates the First Amendment and constitutes a breach of contract.
Columbia University announced suspensions and expulsions for students involved in pro-Palestinian protests while Khalil was arrested and faces deportation, though he has not been charged with a crime.
A lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York argues that complying with the House committee's request would expose sensitive information of students and faculty.
