Columbia University is currently under scrutiny for allegations of rampant antisemitism on its campus. Reports indicate that since the October 7 attack on Israel, there has been an increase in antisemitic protests and hate speech, including calls for violence and the eradication of the Jewish state. Jewish students, faculty, and staff reportedly feel endangered. The situation has escalated over the past five months to the point where the House Committee on Education and the Workforce is holding Columbia's administration accountable for allowing such behavior to persist without consequence. A Jewish student named Yola described experiencing harassment, bullying, exclusion, intimidation, and physical violence, which she claims has affected every aspect of campus life.
