Columbia University’s Jewish Alumni Association has joined calls for embattled school President Minouche Shafik to resign over her handling of the ongoing anti-Israeli protests on campus.
The Columbia Jewish Alumni Association (CJJA) slammed the demonstrations at the Manhattan campus, claiming the protest has made the university “the center of worldwide hatred and bigotry.”
“President Shafik’s silence has been deafening. Appeasing antisemitism never works,” the group wrote in a statement Monday.
“It is well past time to have asked the NYPD to clear campus and enforce university rules. President Shafik must immediately resign,” the group added.
