In a significant legal move, Jordon Groom and Grant Peterson have filed a civil rights lawsuit against Nassau Community College (NCC) and several of its employees, alleging violations of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The plaintiffs, represented by Anderson Law PLLC, claim they faced retaliation after voicing criticisms against NCC’s policies and filing complaints of discrimination. The case, filed in the Eastern District of New York on November 12, 2025, outlines grievances under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The suit seeks damages, attorney fees, and an injunction to clear disciplinary actions from their academic records.
