The president of Columbia University in New York has resigned after a term marked by protests against the war between Israel and Hamas and criticism of her handling of the conflict’s divisions.
The university was the scene of student protests this year, culminating in police wielding riot shields entering a building occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters. Similar protests have taken place at universities across the country.
Minouche Shafik’s firing came just days after the university confirmed the firing of three deans who authorities said exchanged derogatory text messages during a campus discussion about Jewish life and anti-Semitism.
