According to President Minouche Shafik, calling for the “genocide of Jews” is against the” Code of Conduct.”
In her testimony to Congress yesterday, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik condemned calling for the “genocide of Jews ” on campus.
She criticized hatred on the campus of the prestigious New York University, but she was less certain about the consequences for such behavior among faculty and students.
Does calling for the Holocaust of Jews violate Columbia’s code of conduct, asked Democrat Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon.
All Columbia associates, including Shafik, said it does.
The inquiry echoes the questions that Republican New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik posed during sessions in December 2023. Those messages from the president of MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University drew censure. In the end, Harvard President Claudine Gay and Penn President Liz Magill both resigned, at least partly because of their ambiguous responses.
On October 9, I attended a ceremony for the sufferers. our school safety committee met every day; we brought in more security knowledge; and communicate frequently with the FBI and the NYPD ,” Shafik said.
House Committee on Education and the Workforce head Virginia Foxx, a representative from the Senate, opened the reading by declaring that since Oct. Consequently, Columbia University has evolved into a system for the promotion of violence and hostilities against Jews. ”
According to Foxxx,” Columbia administrators have regularly broken their commitment to shield Jewish learners from this cruel, backward form of discrimination.” ” This was her finish, at the end of the hearing, as well.
She claimed that a student named Eden Yadegar had stated to the commission in a statement from the committee in February that it was difficult for a Hebrew student to attend Columbia without engaging in daily hatred. Jewish anger has become ingrained in school lifestyle because it has been viewed favorably and casually by students and faculty, but ignored by administrators. ”
Along with co-chairs of the hatred work force at Columbia, past law school professor David Schizer, and co-chairmen of the Board of Trustees, Claire Shipman and David Greenwald, there was Shafik.
Columbia is attempting to determine the boundary between completely speech and conversation that is prohibited. This came up frequently in doubting.
Schizer said: “ Free talk issues. It does n’t think I may cry you over. It does n’t stretch to harassment and discrimination. ”
One of the biggest changes, according to the doctor, was limiting rallies to particular school locations so that individuals could choose to avoid them.
Democrats on the committee demanded specific figures for how many professors had been disciplined or fired for making offensive remarks.
The Columbia leadership did dismiss two pro-Hamas pupil groups, next fall. Nov. 1st, students for Justice and Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace were barred from school activities. 10, which has not stopped them, Shafik and another noted.

SJP took piece in a rally operate from a personal school house, as Shafik said.
According to the New York Post, Congresswoman Stefanik remarked following the hearings that the president and board of directors of Columbia University had failed to lead ‘elite’ college campuses in a fight against racism and safeguard Israeli students. ”
From the glaringly inconsistent testimony regarding the disciplinary action and lack thereof taken against anti-semitic students and pro-terrorist faculty, to astonishingly stating that there have n’t been any ‘anti-Jewish’ protests on campus, only to be informed that ‘F– the Jews ’ & ‘Death to the Jews ’ is in-fact anti-Jewish when she was more pressed. ”
