The Republican Congressional delegation from New York is urging Columbia University President Dr. Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik to resign amid tense anti-Israel demonstrations on campus.

Every single House Republican from New York is demanding that Columbia University President Dr. Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik step down from leading the Ivy League school as tensions mount on campus over the Israel-Hamas war. 'Over the past few days, anarchy has engulfed the campus of Columbia University. As the leader of this institution, one of your chief objectives, morally and under law, is to ensure students have a safe learning environment.

However, in their Monday letter, the House Republicans wrote, 'Despite implementing new rules to stop such unauthorized events and this illegal, antisemitic encampment clearly violating these rules, it was nearly two days before the New York Police Department was authorized to clear the encampment.' 'Since then, the encampment has shockingly been allowed to reconvene, order has not been restored, and NYPD has not been allowed to return,' they wrote.
