A white student from Howard University’s law school has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the institution, claiming it created a “hostile educational environment” which allegedly caused him to suffer from depression.

Howard University is a federally chartered, historically black, private research university based in Washington D.C. Michael Newman, the student, had joined the law school in the fall semester of 2020.
