BREAKING: Columbia President Resigns Months After Pro-Hamas Demonstrations, Complains of ‘Threats and Abuse’
The president of Columbia has resigned from her position just months after the pro-Hamas demonstrations that engulfed the university campus.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, Minouche Shakif said the past few months had taken a “considerable toll” on her personal life and complained about the abuse she had received:
I have had the honor and privilege to lead this incredible institution, and I believe that—working together—we have made progress in a number of important areas. However, it has also been a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community.
This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community.
