SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 9 – Columbia University
has been sued to not returning
to graduate students in visual
and sound art and film tuition
money for time rendered
virtual-only by
COVID.
On April 8, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Robert W.
Lehrburger held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
Judge
Lehrburger extended a stay
pending a settlement
conference he said he will
preside over after getting ex
parte submissions by each
side.
He said the
parties must being the
decision makers to the
conference.
Columbia's
lawyer said it will be General
Counsel Jane Booth. When Judge
Lehrburger said he usually
does not accept lawyers as the
decision makers, wanting
instead those who hold the
purse strings, the answer was
that Jane Booth is well known
in the SDNY.
The case is
Brittain et al v. Trustees Of
Columbia University in the
City of New York, 20-cv-9194
(Castel / Lehrburger)
