Columbia University’s faculty senate is set to vote on a resolution on Friday regarding recent decisions made by school president Minouche Shafik. One of the key issues at hand is Shafik's decision to involve the police in clearing a student encampment last week.
The resolution aims to address concerns raised by some members of the senate without resorting to a censure vote, which could have significant implications for the school. According to reports, there were discussions during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, where unnamed senators expressed worries about the potential consequences of a censure vote, particularly in light of pressure from Republican lawmakers.
