“THREE DOWN, so many to go,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) celebrated as another university president who failed to halt violent pro-Hamas riots resigned.
Columbia University has become internationally infamous for its antisemitic, pro-genocide protests and encampments. After utterly failing to address the crisis, woke President Minouche Shafik is stepping down.
Stefanik responded in a statement on X: “THREE DOWN, so many to go. As I have said consistently since her catastrophic testimony at the Education and the Workforce Committee hearing, Columbia University’s President Minouche Shafik’s failed presidency was untenable and that is [sic] was only a matter of time before her forced resignation.”
Harvard and University of Pennsylvania presidents had previously resigned.
Stefanik went on, “After failing to protect Jewish students and negotiating with pro-Hamas terrorists, this forced resignation is long overdue. We will continue to demand moral clarity, condemnation of antisemitism, protection of Jewish students and faculty, and stronger leadership from American higher education institutions.” Now if only we could be sure a less antisemitic president will take Shafik’s place.
