Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is set to testify before Congress regarding the surge in antisemitism on college campuses, particularly in light of the Israel-Gaza conflict. The hearing, presided over by Representative Virginia Foxx, follows a significant increase in antisemitic incidents, with a reported 321% rise on campuses in 2023 according to an ADL survey. This congressional scrutiny comes after the resignations of the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University under similar circumstances. The situation at Columbia has been described as a crisis, with accusations of the university becoming a hotbed for antisemitism and failing to protect Jewish students, driven by the ongoing conflict.
