Columbia University is currently embroiled in a crisis as tensions escalate on campus ahead of the Passover holiday. A rabbi associated with the university has advised Jewish students to stay home due to safety concerns, prompting Columbia officials to allow virtual attendance for classes and exams.
The situation at Columbia has been intensifying since the October 7 terror attack on Israel by Hamas. Recent events, including testimony before Congress on antisemitism and pro-Palestinian protests, have further fueled the unrest on campus.
