A group of current and former Toronto Metropolitan University law students have reportedly launched a $10M lawsuit against the institution and the TMU Lincoln Alexander School of Law. The Globe and Mail reports that this group of 10 students were among the signatories of a letter in 2023 that called on the TMU law school to drop its neutral position and show public support for Palestinians. TMU issued a response to the petition in which it stated that it “unequivocally condemn[ed] the sentiments of Antisemitism and intolerance expressed in this message.” According to Toronto Today, the lawsuit describes this as a false accusation of antisemitism and intolerance and is claiming “discrimination, defamation, and a breach of contract.”
