GOP congresswoman demands Columbia University 'restore order and safety' amid anti-Israel protests
Fox News
Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., called on leaders at Columbia University to take action to address the ongoing anti-Israel protests on campus.
"I am gravely concerned by the ongoing chaos at Columbia University caused by the radical, unlawful Gaza Solidarity Encampment, which has now entered its fifth day," Foxx, R-N.C., wrote. "The encampment and related activities have created a severe and pervasive hostile environment for Jewish students at Columbia. A Jewish chaplain at the University has recommended Jewish students depart campus due to the University’s inability to guarantee their safety. Multiple Jewish students have already sought shelter off-campus."
"Columbia's continued failure to restore order and safety promptly to campus constitutes a major breach of the University’s Title VI obligations, upon which federal financial assistance is contingent, and which must immediately be rectified," she continued. "If you do not rectify this danger, then the Committee will not hesitate in holding you accountable."
