Elise Stefanik, all NY House GOP lawmakers demand Columbia President Minouche Shafik resign immediately

Stefanik and bipartisan members of the House Education and Workforce Committee grilled Shafik last week over her failures to protect Jewish students from intimidation, harassment and even assaults by anti-Israel demonstrators after Hamas killed an estimated 1,200 people — including 33 US citizens — in a surprise terror attack Oct. 7.

Columbia students told reporters before the House hearing that they have been targeted for wearing Star of David necklaces and shouted “F–k the Jews” in the kosher section of campus dining halls.

That same day, demonstrators descended onto the campus and set up dozens of tents in a show of force meant to convince Columbia to divest from Israel.

Many participants have defended Hamas’ actions and called for the eradication of the Jewish state, with one holding up a sign on Saturday night that called for the Al-Qassam military brigade of the terror group to pick Israeli flag-waving Columbia students as their “next targets.”

NYPD officers arrested more than 100 participants in the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on Thursday at Shafik’s prompting, but the Republican lawmakers say the “illegal, antisemitic” demonstration had been permitted for two days beforehand — and has since been “shockingly allowed to reconvene” without police intervention.

In a Monday statement, Shafik pleaded with the undergrads to go home, saying Columbia had to “reset” and “address security concerns” from students “across an array of communities.”
