The embattled president of Columbia University, Minouche Shafik, has resigned effective immediately, Fox News Digital has confirmed. Shafik announced her decision in a letter addressed to the Columbia community after facing repeated calls to step down over her response to the anti-Israel protests that overtook Columbia's campus following the October 7 massacre in Israel.
I also spoke about the values and principles which are dear to me and, I know, to the Columbia community as well: academic freedom and free speech; openness to ideas; and zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind—including gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or ethnicity. This mission, and the values and principles underpinning it, constitute our North Star.
