Two Chinese international students studying in the United States have filed a lawsuit against a Chinese education consulting firm after the students were expelled from universities they were attending.

The lawsuit, filed at a New York federal court, was presented by plaintiffs Yu Shanchun and Jin Ruili, the former studying at the Columbia University School of Professional Studies prior to her expulsion, and the latter previously studying at Stony Brook University as an undergraduate, according to court documents.
