University leaders viewed campus antisemitism as a 'public-relations' issue and derided congressional oversight as 'capital [sic] hill nonsense.'
University leaders viewed campus antisemitism as a “public-relations” issue and derided congressional oversight as “capital hill nonsense.”After nearly a year of hearings and hundreds of thousands of pages of document review, the House Education Committee released its anticipated scathingearlier this year. It’s worth going back to, just to rewatch Representative Elise Stefanik hold Columbia President Minouche Shafik’s feet to the fire.
While Columbia was “touting aggressive actions on antisemitism to the media,” such as suspending its chapters of anti-Israel student groups that had repeatedly violated university rules, Shipman was working “behind the scenes to appease the University’s antisemitic actors.
At other schools, administrators simply sat on their hands, refusing to enforce their own rules while their campuses descended into chaos. Taking over campus buildings, blocking Jewish students from portions of their campus, disrupting classes, and engaging antisemitic harassment—all were greenlighted by weak-kneed officials who refused to impose consequences..
Columbia had “some of the most disturbing and extreme antisemitic conduct violations in the country,” including the criminal takeover of Hamilton Hall. And there too, the Committee found the school imposed “shockingly few meaningful disciplinary consequences.”
