Columbia University President Minouche Shafik's resignation follows a turbulent period marked by student protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict and criticism of the university's handling of antisemitism.
In her resignation letter, Shafik acknowledged progress in various areas but noted that divergent views within the community posed significant challenges during her tenure.
The recent unrest on campus, including police involvement and the resignation of three deans over inappropriate communications, reflects the heightened tensions surrounding Israel-Palestine issues.
Shafik's decision to resign comes as Columbia implements stricter campus access measures in anticipation of potential disruptions ahead of the new academic semester.
