A First Amendment lawsuit accusing the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign of infringing on the rights of three student journalists will proceed to court.
The federal lawsuit, which names multiple university officials as defendants, was filed on behalf of three Campus Reform correspondents on April 9 after they were disciplined for reporting on a campus protest that resulted in a graduate student instructor assaulting the journalists and damaging one’s property.

Two of the students, Joel Valdez and Blair Nelson, were the targets of Khan’s rage during the altercation, while the third student, Andrew Minik, merely reported on the incident for Campus Reform.
