Minouche Shafik resigns as Columbia president after tumultuous year
Briefly

"This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community. It has also been a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community."
"As the protests gathered momentum, Shafik was summoned to a congressional committee over allegations the university had failed to protect students and staff from rising anti-Semitism."
"I am making this announcement now so that new leadership can be in place before the new term begins."
"Shafik's resignation was welcomed by some of the protesters, as well as those who had accused her of allowing anti-Semitism to flourish."
