Shafik is weak and has totally lost the plot. She is not in control over her university. Fire her.

[broncoguy]

This woman needs to step down. She's either in over her head, or unwilling to take the measures necessary to ensure a safe campus for all students.

[claudiablanco]

Her words are meaningless. Her lack of willingness to denounce anti-Semitic in public, shows she supports this behavior.

[nancyschaillee]

She lies continually, with all due respect.

[ianwarnes]

This president of Columbia is a bit defensive on all questions ... All questions ... Wake up America !!
The facts are strangers to her !!

[RubyBandUSA]

Kevin Kiley is fantastic. I wish he represented my district. Keivn, please run for U.S. Senator.

[eivviyd]

Why are all the presidents of these universities buffoons make all that money and they sound dumb 🤡

[mikhail_fil]

"How many hours did you spend preparing? Did you watch previous testimony? Then, why the F@@? do come in here and stutter???"

[michaelfrugtniet]

she is totally compromised and should be sacked !

[danaday]

Shocking that this behavior is allowed to continue on University campuses

[nsumloy]

She is a waste of space. She needs to go.

[InterestedCitizen]

Are those pearls she is wearing? She must clutch them a lot. I mean, she's so shaken up she's not able to say YES or No!!!

[desertgerbil]

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything because my Qatari and Iranian employers will not allow me."

[starrystarrynight]

The majority of people in this country are so very tired of any person or person’s that can disrupt people’s life anywhere and anytime they want in an attempt to get their way. This needs to be stopped immediately.

[captpain]

How on earth did she become a doctor, she is dumb as a bag of rocks .

[sandraalexander]

OMG this is so embarrassing for Columbia!

[robertporch]

No wonder students are so screwed up. This woman is a mindless idiot. Our universities must be cleaned out of these people if sanity, real learning and critical thinking are to be restored.

[markwanner]

What a crock of shit! She should be fired!

[Boston]

Absolutely! She is not capable, she is failing. Shame on her!

[gregdavidson]

"He has been told to leave" but he wasn't fired??!?!?!?! What planet is this woman from?
