Dylan Kupsh v. Regents of the University of California

ADC and co-counsel represent Dylan Kupsh, a UCLA computer science Ph.D. student suspended after nearly two years of disciplinary proceedings targeting his pro-Palestine advocacy. UCLA brought roughly fourteen charges across seven proceedings, rejected most of them for lack of evidence, then suspended him anyway under a campus rule the petition alleges did not exist at the time — two quarters before he was set to complete his degree. The petition, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeks to set aside the discipline, restore his academic standing, and release the master’s degree UCLA has withheld for over 550 days.
