Embattled Columbia president resigns months after anti-Israel student protests: report

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned from the elite institution, according to a report.

Shafik is stepping away after just one year at the helm, which was marked by constant — and sometimes destructive — anti-Israel protests, the Free Beacon reported.

The resignation comes just one week after three university deans resigned from Columbia following the exposure of their “very troubling” text chain that disparaged Israeli and Jewish students’ fears of rising anti-Semitism on campus.
