Professor Shai Davidai is suspended by Columbia for allegedly harassing personnel during protests, while Davidai claims the university is” silence” his pro-Israel position.
Columbia University briefly suspended firm Professor Shai Davidai in response to allegations of abuse against other faculty members.
According to The Columbia Spectator, University spokesman Millie Wert reported in a speech on Tuesday that Davidai repeatedly harassed and intimidated University workers in contravention of school policies.
Assistant Professor Davidai’s right to free speech and expression of his opinions has been constantly and consistently respected by Columbia. His right to free speech has not been and is not being limited right today,” Wert said.
The associate professor is partially barred from college grounds because he harassed five faculty members, according to The New York Post, in a letter to Davidai’s attorney.
In a video posted on X, Davidai claims to be a “wonderful executive,” and that he is” a worthless superintendent.”
” But you know what, there were so many unnecessary officials in Nazi Germany, and you know what? After the battle, they said they did everything they could”, Davidai said.
He even criticized Chief Operating Officer Cas Holloway as “indifferent” in another picture.
” You are the chief operating officer of Columbia. Do you realize that”? Davidai said.
” You have to do your work. And if they wo n’t let us rest, I wo n’t let you rest. You have Jewish kids crying”, he said.
The Apartheid Divest’s protest on campus on October 7 was the subject of the video.
Wert said while Davidai may enter college, his position as a university representative will not be affected, according to the Spectator.
His expulsion will come to an end when he “takes correct training on our guidelines governing the actions of our employees,” according to Wert.
Davidai claimed that the school is attempting to” silence” Jews and that he will only” complete the training” with Cas Holloway.
The Israeli teacher who is the only one who has been suspended from school is speaking out against the protests, Davidai said.
” Believe about all the professors, all that they’ve done. You know, people that have said and posted unpleasant things, and still I’m the only one suspended”, he said.
Davidai posted a video on Instagram Tuesday questioning the university’s selection, according to the Spectator. Nevertheless, it appears that the film has since been taken down.
The University has decided to stop allowing me to be on campus any longer, the admin teacher said. My career. Why? Because of Oct. 7″.
” Because I was n’t afraid to confront the hateful mob.” And because I was not reluctant to introduce Mr. fucking Cas Holloway”, he said.
