As Columbia University's president faces scrutiny from ongoing campus protests, a more than 20-year-old video is getting renewed attention over her remarks on the causes of terrorism.

As Columbia University President Dr. Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik faces scrutiny from ongoing campus protests over Israel’s war with Hamas, a more than 20-year-old video is getting renewed attention for remarks on the causes of terrorism. The video, filmed just two months after 9/11, shows Shafik – who was then vice president at the World Bank – discussing the economic roots of terrorism with UC Berkeley’s Harry Kreisler on the program, 'Conversations with History.

House Republicans from New York have urged Shafik to resign, saying in a letter Monday that she had failed to provide a safe learning environment in recent days as 'anarchy has engulfed the campus.' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
