President of Columbia University Nemat Shafik testifies before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington on April 17, 2024.
— The president of Columbia University took a firm stand against antisemitism Wednesday as she parried accusations from Republicans who see the New York campus as a hotbed of bias, but she hedged on whether certain phrases invoked by some supporters of Palestinians rise to harassment.
McClain posed the same question to David Schizer, who leads an antisemitism task force at Columbia. He responded that such phrases are antisemitic. “These are more disciplinary actions than taken probably in the last decade at Columbia," she said."And I promise you, from the messages I’m hearing from students, they are getting the message that violations will have consequences.”
“Mr. Abdou is not grading papers right now,” Stefanik said. “He’s on campus at the unsanctioned and anti-Israel, antisemitic event that is being supported by pro-Hamas activists on campus.” “This is not an honest conversation that we are having today in this committee,” Omar said. “The fact that these young people came from Columbia to be at this hearing to have their voices heard and are not being allowed is, I think, a disservice to our democracy.”
Her vision clashes with one presented by Republicans in Congress and some Jewish students who say antisemitism has gone unchecked at Columbia, citing a Jewish student who was beaten on campus while putting up posters of Israeli hostages, and protesters who yelled chants that some consider a call for the genocide of Jews.
