Minouche Shafik's resignation as Columbia University President marks the fall of another Ivy League leader criticized for inadequate action against campus antisemitism following the Oct. 7 attacks.
Shafik's tenure was characterized by a lack of decisive action against rising antisemitism, mirroring the shortcomings of her colleagues at Harvard and Penn, which left Jewish students vulnerable.
The resignation of leaders like Shafik may create a leadership vacuum, but without addressing the deep-seated issues tied to critical race theory, antisemitism is unlikely to dissipate.
Shafik's interim replacement offered weak responses to post-Oct. 7 violence, failing to effectively address or condemn the rising antisemitic sentiments prevalent on campus.
