CWRU FED SUIT 

A FEDERAL LAWSUIT IS NOW FILED AGAINST CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY.
THIS FOLLOWS AN INCIDENT FROM LAST MAY. THREE STUDENTS WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF A PALESTINIAN MURAL, THAT HAD BEEN PAINTED ON THE SCHOOL'S SPIRIT WALL, TO BLOCK IT FROM BEING PAINTED OVER. THAT'S WHEN THEY WERE SPRAY PAINTED, BY CONTRACTORS, HIRED BY THE UNIVERSITY. THE LAWSUIT ACCUSES THE UNIVERSITY OF USING EXCESSIVE FORCE AND VIOLATING THE PROTESTERS' FREE SPEECH.
