Khalil faced a dilemma common to international students: He was in the United States on a F-1 student visa. But participating in a protest meant risking suspension that could endanger his enrollment status.
Khalil opted to be a lead negotiator for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, pushing for ties severance with Israel. He worked closely with the university to ensure activities wouldn't lead to punishment.
