Columbia President Minouche Shafik aced the biggest test at Wednesday's House hearing on campus antisemitism, but she was no match for House Republicans who caught her in multiple contradictions related to the school's reaction to anti-Jewish hate.
House Education and the Workforce Committee Chair Rep. Virginia Foxx R-N.C., speaks during the hearing on “Columbia in Crisis: Columbia University’s Response to Antisemitism” on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, April 17, 2024. President Minouche Shafik aced the biggest test at Wednesday’s House hearing on campus antisemitism, but she was no match for House Republicans who caught her in multiple contradictions related to the school’s reaction to anti-Jewish hate.
“You don’t think those are anti-Jewish?” asked Ms. Stefanik. The president agreed they were “completely anti-Jewish” but that protests were labeled as anti-Israeli government events where “anti-Jewish things were said.”Ms. Shafik also struggled when asked whether the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was antisemitic. She said that some people did view it as antisemitic, while others did not.
The students were accused of a “chemical attack,” but according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday, the substance was a prank fart spray called “Liquid Ass” currently available on Amazon for $10.99.. “Documents Columbia produced to the committee show that the substance sprayed was a non-toxic gag spray.
