Following a controversial congressional hearing that led to the resignations of two Ivy League presidents, Columbia University's president is scheduled to appear before the same committee to address concerns regarding antisemitism and the handling of conflicts related to the Israel-Hamas war on campus.
In December, Columbia's president, Nemat Shafik, was initially invited to testify but had to decline due to scheduling conflicts. The hearing instead featured presidents from Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose responses sparked backlash and subsequent resignations.
