Anderson v. State University of New York (SUNY)

The federal district court for the Southern District of New York dismissed a lawsuit brought by a pro se plaintiff against four universities in New York and Jersey, seeking to block them from “teaching their students, and thereby the public, that the future … will be one where climate change is manageable, and sustainability is achievable.” The court found that the plaintiff did not allege a concrete and particularized injury, only “generalized grievances.” The plaintiff therefore lacked standing. The court also found that the plaintiff failed to state any claim under the National Environmental Policy Act.
