Editorial Board WSJ, Mar. 23, 2025 “Conservatives should also be wary of government dictation of curricula because the left will do the same thing if it returns to power.” Columbia University’s decision Friday to bend to the Trump Administration’s governance demands has shocked the academy far and wide, and it is an unprecedented sanction. But […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, Mar. 25, 2025 “During a mutinous meeting with angry faculty, Armstrong reportedly said, among other things, that the anti-mask ban — a policy that is widely supported by the Jewish community for achieving the same end as federal anti-Ku-Klux-Klan laws — will not be enacted.” Columbia University interim president Katrina Armstrong […]
Noah Rothman National Review, Mar. 25, 2025 “Whether because of institutional capture or its lethargic leadership, it had become unavoidably clear that Columbia could not restore a climate of free inquiry to its campus on its own. So, the Trump administration gave it a push.” By April of last year, it was clear that Columbia University […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 25, 2025 “If chants for violence against African Americans or Hispanics were routinely voiced—or takeovers of school buildings on behalf of the efforts of hate groups or terrorists targeting those groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazis—had taken place, everyone knows what would have followed.” Progressive academics have been among […]

Litman National Review, Feb. 13, 2025 “Since the October 7 attack, Mapheze repeatedly expressed support for the terror attack and glorified those who carried out the atrocities.” Mapheze Ahmad Yousef Saleh was recently listed as a graduate student at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS).

Amine Ayoub Jerusalem Post, Feb. 24, 2025 “If you want to know why antisemitism has exploded on US campuses, look no further than Qatar’s grip on education.” For months, I have followed the disturbing rise of antisemitism in US universities, especially after Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel on October 7.

David Christopher Kaufman Commentary Magazine, March 2025 “Jews today are inadvertently upending the notion that whites are immune from racism. Jews may still be considered “white” by the federal government’s census counters. But when it comes to the dynamics behind race and racism, Jews are emerging as a new kind of oppressed minority.” Few progressive maxims […]
Deborah Lipstadt The Free Press, Mar. 2, 2025 Until last week, I had been seriously considering teaching at Columbia University next year as a visiting professor.
