Columbia President Out After ‘Period of Turmoil’ on Campus

Conservatives will be very happy to know that a small victory has finally been landed.

The president of Columbia University, who allowed the campus to be taken over by anti-Israel protesters, has resigned.

Effective August 14, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is no longer employed.

Time to Go

Shafik tried to sugarcoat her leaving, stating,  “Over the summer, I have been able to reflect and have decided that my moving on at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead.

“I am making this announcement now so that new leadership can be in place before the new term begins.”

She will be replaced by interim president Dr. Katrina Armstrong, who is currently the Dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

What happened on that campus was shameful, with Jewish students terrified for their lives and literally locking themselves in their rooms for fear of being attacked.

Not to mention areas of the school being taken over by these radicals.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) took a victory lap after Shafik resigned.

She stated, “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 was only a matter of time before her forced resignation.

“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.”

There is still much work to be done on this front, as this type of behavior simply cannot be tolerated.

For some reason, half this country seems okay with it, but it is a complete and utter disgrace.

So, like Stefanik said, we are three down, but we still have a long way to go to correct this horrible situation.
