Claire Shipman, the acting president of Columbia University, faces scrutiny from House Republican Elise Stefanik for her past statements regarding congressional hearings on campus antisemitism. In a private message, Shipman referred to the hearings as 'capital hill nonsense.' This remark has been highlighted by Stefanik, who claims it indicates Shipman's inability to adequately protect Jewish students. The controversy surrounding her comments has led to predictions that her position may be short-lived, especially given the political context and scrutiny over university leadership's handling of antisemitism.
