Israel,Protesters,Divest

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik acknowledged Monday the negative experience the protests have created for Jewish students.

President of Columbia University Nemat Shafik testifies before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing on "Columbia in Crisis: Columbia University's Response to Antisemitism" on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, April 17, 2024. The university has been home to a “liberated zone” encampment for more than a week to protest the Israel-Hamas war.

Continuing, the Ivy League leader said Columbia will not divest from Israel as many protesters have demanded. She noted it will instead develop an "expedited timeline" for its Advisory Committee for Socially Responsible Investing to review new student proposals.
