Hours before the university's leader made her appearance on Capitol Hill, students supporting Palestinians gathered for a protest on Columbia's campus.
ByStream New York's #1 news - Accuweather - original content 24/7Four months after a contentious congressional hearing led to the resignations of two Ivy League presidents, Columbia University's president is set to appear before the same committee over questions of antisemitism and the school's response to conflicts on campus over the Israel-Hamas war.
The protest could become fresh fodder for Republicans. It fell outside the hours designated under new rules Columbia adopted in February. At a news conference before Shafik's testimony, Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said there's "activity going on on the campus this morning that shouldn't be allowed." During a heated line of questioning at the December hearing, Stefanik asked the university leaders to answer whether "calling for the genocide of Jews" would violate each university's code of conduct.
Shafik was to testify Wednesday along with Columbia University board members. Tensions and accusations of hate and bias have roiled Columbia as they have at its sibling colleges, but Shafik had the benefit of hindsight in preparing her remarks. In an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal Tuesday, she emphasized the delicate balance between protecting free speech and fostering a safe environment for students on campus.
