Abstract

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is facing criticism and discontent from faculty and student groups over her handling of intense protests related to the Israel-Hamas war. Some groups have called for her resignation, while others believe changing leadership would create further chaos. The American Association of University Professors at Columbia has drafted a resolution censuring Shafik but does not call for her removal. Tensions are also rising at other universities across the country, with student groups demanding divestment from companies doing business with Israel. [Extracted from the article]
