Three staff members have been permanently removed from Columbia University after they engaged in a text message exchange that involved 'ancient antisemitic tropes.'
Columbia University has 'permanently removed' three staff members after they were caught sending text messages that pushed 'ancient antisemitic tropes.' The messages were allegedly sent during the 'Jewish Life on Campus: Past, Present and Future' reunion event on campus, according to FOX 5. Columbia President Minouche Shafik condemned the messages in a Monday letter to the Columbia community.
While this disturbing incident has presented us challenges as a community, Columbia's leadership team recognizes this as an important moment to implement changes that will build a stronger institution as a result. I know that you all share this commitment,' he wrote. Dean Josef Sorett, one of the staff members involved in the incident, apologized in his own letter on Monday.
One professor reportedly told his class to avoid the mainstream media because 'it is owned by Jews.' Task force members who spoke with Israeli publication Haaretz described a pattern of anti-Jewish bias at the Manhattan university, which has been plagued by anti-Israel protests since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre. Jewish and Israeli students regularly felt 'targeted and ostracized' on campus and were often singled out in the classroom, task force members told the paper.
Columbia University did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment. Fox News' Yael Halon contributed to this report.
