Columbia University Faculty 'No Confidence' Vote Against President Nemat Shafik

Columbia University faculty passed a 'no confidence' resolution against President Nemat Shafik due to her handling of anti-Israel incidents on campus. The resolution accused her of violating academic freedom and endangering students' welfare. Shafik faced criticism for bringing police onto campus to clear out agitators who vandalized a building and waved a Palestinian flag. Pro-Israel voices also criticized her for being too soft on anti-Israel encampments and antisemitic rhetoric.
