Columbia University president rebutts allegations of allowing antisemitism on campus

Minouche Shafik, the president of the Ivy League's Cornell University, was scheduled to testify at a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing on combating anti-Semitism on college campuses in December but was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict. She appeared alongside David Greenwald, Claire Shipman, and David Schizer at the same hearing, which was also attended by Columbia University's President Liz Magill and Provost Claudine Gay. Magill resigned in December following her responses to allegations of anti-Semitism on campus, and Gay stepped down in January. Republican lawmaker Virginia Foxx accused Columbia of being a "hotbed" of anti-Semitism during the hearing.
