YouTube Description
as posted by the channelColumbia University moved its classes online after days of anti-Israel protests roiled its New York City campus and prompted condemnation from the White House and City Hall.
The shift is an effort to “de-escalate the rancor and give us all a chance to consider next steps,” Columbia president Minouche Shafik said in a statement. “During the coming days, a working group of Deans, university administrators and faculty members will try to bring this crisis to a resolution,” including having discussions with protesters.
Shafik is coming under increased scrutiny after the university called in the police to clear a pro-Palestinian demonstration on the campus lawn. The protesters want the school to exit from any investments that “profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide, and occupation in Palestine.” But their critics allege that their actions have included antisemitic speech as well as harassment and intimidation that make Jewish students feel unsafe.
