Description

At least three Columbia University students are suing the school for access to their dorms, reports WNYC's Ramsey Khalifeh. The students were disciplined for their involvement in pro-Palestinian protests. In other news, New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks is vigorously defending the DOE's response to anti-Semitism in public schools. Meanwhile, the city's Department of Investigation is examining claims of NYPD officials misusing the department's official social media accounts. Also, the owners of the now-shuttered Manhattan beauty supply store, Rehana Cosmetics, have been charged with criminal possession of more than one million dollars in stolen goods. Additionally, some New York City leaders are urging Albany lawmakers to approve reforms to the way agencies contract outside companies for public works projects. Finally, family members of 19-year-old Win Rozario, who was shot and killed by police last month in Queens, are speaking out. Rozario, described by family as experiencing a mental health crisis, had called 911 himself. WNYC's Bahar Ostadan joined the family as they gathered at City Hall on Wednesday.
