Protests supporting Palestine and condemning Mahmoud Khalil's arrest coincided with Columbia University's announcement of Dr. Katrina Armstrong's resignation as interim president. Armstrong's departure underscores an ongoing crisis related to campus antisemitism and federal scrutiny. Her leadership was compromised by contradictory promises to the White House and a chaotic campus environment. The university's rapid turnover in leadership raises questions about its ability to address these challenges effectively, with Claire Shipman stepping in as the new interim president amid calls for accountability and compliance with federal expectations.
"Columbia University obviously subscribes to the belief that Friday night is the best time to put out bad news."
"The resignation of Dr. Katrina Armstrong is yet another bombshell development in the Trump administration's crackdown on universities violating the civil rights of Jewish students."
