Columbia University’s president denounces antisemitism on her campus during an appearance before a congressional committee.

Four months after a contentious congressional hearing led to the resignations of two Ivy League presidents, Columbia University's president appeared before the same committee on Wednesday and unequivocally denounced antisemitism on her campus, rebutting claims that she has allowed Columbia to become a hotbed of hatred. “We condemn the antisemitism that is so pervasive today,” Columbia President Nemat Shafik said in an opening statement.

” Stefanik said Republicans will hold Columbia accountable for failing to protect students. “Despite claims otherwise, Columbia’s leadership refuses to enforce their own policies and condemn Jewish hatred on campus, creating a breeding ground for antisemitism and a hotbed of support for terrorism from radicalized faculty and students,” she said.
