House Speaker Mike Johnson is scheduled to visit Columbia University on Wednesday to meet with Jewish students and address the concerning increase in antisemitism on college campuses across America. His office has announced that he will deliver remarks and hold a press conference on this issue.
Recent pro-Palestinian protests have caused disruptions at several prominent American universities, including Columbia. Following days of tense demonstrations, Columbia University has decided to transition to mostly hybrid classes on its main campus for the remainder of the semester.
In response to the ongoing protests, New York House Republicans have demanded the immediate resignation of Columbia University president Minouche Shafik, accusing her of failing to effectively address the situation.
