Shafik’s abrupt decision follows months of pressure from pro-Israel and pro-Palestine students to step down following a contentious year of campus protests.
College administrators ( and educators at every level!) everywhere - look at what your handiwork has writ large! When you let the inmates run the asylum, you get bedlam.
I hope that Columbia and every other educational institution face the same kind of lawsuit now before Judge Richard Stearns against Harvard. They should all lose their funding.
Shafiq’s resignation letter did not even mention the antisemitism at all
The Dean of the Business School sent out an email that paints the Deans and leaders in higher education as the victims in this scandal
Here’s the quotation from his letter
"This unexpected development underscores the many challenges leaders in higher education have faced over the past year, and the difficult period that our institution has been going through over the past 10 months."
Again no mention of the Jews and Zionists who were the targets of the violence and hateful rhetoric
The problem of Jew hatred is deep and long standing within the Columbia faculty
Also , Raman , the elite modern orthodox prep school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan , for the first time has none of its graduates going to Columbia.
“Over the summer, I have been able to reflect and have decided that my moving on at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead.”
That's how people who earn 7 figures say, "I don't want to be there for the shitstorm this Fall."
Who would want this job ? I don't think anyone thinks Shafik did a good job , but with a unworkable woke system who would want it ? It's not the person at the top but the whole system needs to step down !
Here is the reaction of Shai Davidai, Assoc Prof at the Columbia Business School, who is an American Israeli at the forefront of the battle to protect Jewish Zionist students and faculty since 10-7. He tells us there is nothing to celebrate yet
Do you remember what Lionel Tribbie said in the West Wing when Sam sacked the staffers who harassed Ainsley Hayes?
Minouche can go and write her book now.

Was this Columbia's choice or theirs? Honest question, and my honest hope is that it was theirs.

Blink twice if you are being held hostage, Minouche. Her exit announcement is full of doublespeak word salad, just like her appointment announcement. 3 out of the 8 Demoralized DIEvy League presidents have resigned over the past year - who is next? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/commissar-minouche-shafik-columbia-president?utm_source=publication-search
