Columbia University President Minouche Shafik resigns

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned after a brief, tumultuous tenure. The school in upper Manhattan was roiled this year by student protests, culminating in scenes of police officers carrying zip ties and riot shields storming a building that had been occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters. She has acknowledged the campus protests factored into her decision to resign.

The curse that comes from standing with the evil.

[nancynewsome]

She should still face her responsibilities for the events during protests

[robindriggers]

Meaning she gets to collect retirement! She should have been fired!

[wolfmangoland]

As a proud alumnus of Columbia University, I fully embrace it.

Well, three for three, the President of Harvard, President of Univ of Pennsylvania and President of Harvard!!! All three grilled by Congress in an high profile Hearing and now all three OUSTED!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

What took so long ? She’s a disgrace to the university

[What-kwox]

She lacks ethics, she lacks integrity. Ruined her reputation by siding with the ruiling class and congress, but still got embarrassed. They used her and she was too stupid to know

[joymayo]

She really had no business being there to start with

[pdmacguire]

Good riddance. NYC will smell just a bit better!

[belchbat]

lmao whoever gave her the job needs to go as well

[tobin]

Good riddens! Another DEI hire gone bad.

[robart]

Way to go women…. First chance to be the first female president at that university and y’all screwed it up!

[eriklarson]

Maybe if she did her job, she would still have a job

[MichaelEspey-hpjt]

She honestly should have been fired months ago for allowing pro-Palestine protesters/rioters on campus and not giving protection to the students that wanted to go to class, especially the Jewish students.

[UselessYouTube]

Minouche Shafik? Really? That’s the name of the person at the top of one of the most prestigious American universities ?

All DEI positions should resign ahead of time

[otisspunkmeyer]

She will just move on and promote hate somewhere else
