A Republican congresswoman from New York is urging Columbia University President Minouche Shafik to resign following anti-Israel demonstrations on campus. The congresswoman cited concerns over the university's handling of the situation and its failure to protect Jewish students.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis expressed her dismay over the alleged antisemitism displayed against Jewish students at Columbia University. She emphasized the need for accountability and condemned the university for allowing such behavior to persist.
In response to the situation, Rep. Malliotakis introduced legislation aimed at withholding federal funding from colleges that fail to address antisemitism effectively. She called on President Shafik to take responsibility for the situation and step down from her position.
Joining Rep. Malliotakis in the call for President Shafik's resignation, Rep. Elise Stefanik also voiced her concerns over the handling of the anti-Israel demonstrations at Columbia University. The Republican congresswoman echoed the sentiment that President Shafik should resign due to her alleged inability to control the situation on campus.
The calls for President Shafik's resignation come amidst escalating tensions surrounding the anti-Israel demonstrations at Columbia University. The congresswomen's statements highlight the importance of addressing antisemitism and ensuring the safety and well-being of all students on campus.
As the situation continues to unfold, the fate of President Shafik's leadership at Columbia University remains uncertain, with growing pressure from lawmakers to take action in response to the alleged antisemitic incidents.
