The woman who unsuccessfully sued three Queensland University of Technology students over what she alleged were racist Facebook posts is facing a bankruptcy action.

Two of the students sued by Cindy Prior have launched the action against her in the Federal Circuit Court over unpaid costs.

Ms Prior, an indigenous woman, had sued Alex Wood, Calum Thwaites and Jackson Powell for damages totalling $250,000 under section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.

But the case was thrown out in November and she was ordered to pay the students' court costs.
