Columbia has been home to intense outpourings of anti-American, anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian sentiment in recent weeks.
Israel strikes Rafah hours after cease-fire proposal was allegedly accepted by terrorist group, Hamas, to halt the war in Gaza.NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 06: Seats for commencement exercises, now cancelled, are set up at the main campus of Columbia University on May 06, 2024 in New York City. Several Trump-appointed federal judges on Monday announced they would no longer hire Columbia University graduates, according to a letter shared by National Review editor Ramesh Ponnuru.
The announcement, which coincides with Holocaust Remembrance Day, cited the school’s alleged failure to condemn the antisemitic acts of its students. This, the 13 judges wrote, was more than enough to make them lose confidence in the school. The latter also included a list of demands for the school to regain its “once-distinguished reputation.” These included issuing consequences for campus demonstrators, protecting free speech and upholding viewpoint diversity.
