Jewish Columbia alumni call for ‘overhaul’ at the school to combat anti-Semitism
The Columbia Jewish Alumni Association (CJAA) has recently demanded a staff overhaul at Columbia University in the wake of what the group claims is rampant anti-Semitism.
“Antisemitism has become a regular, defining feature of life on Columbia University’s campus; so too, unfortunately, is the University’s shameful denial that it exists,” the group said in a statement posted to X on June 25. “Instead of making the campus safer for Jewish students, administrators and professors mock, ridicule, and gaslight them that the problem we all see isn’t a problem at all.”
“Fundamental change is needed at Morningside Heights and that starts with an overhaul of the faculty and staff perpetuating this crisis,” CJAA concluded.
The group then announced in a separate post that it would be “posting specific examples of why we are now convinced that nothing short of a staff and faculty overhaul is required to restore Columbia’s legacy.”
The group provided a quote, allegedly from a Columbia alumnus, saying: “A professor for our mandatory first-year English class at Columbia commented all over an essay I wrote regarding a NY Times article about a museum that honored suicide bombers during the Second Intifada. My essay was covered in red ink. The comments were not on my writing skills but rather to persuade in favor of the Palestinians.”
“When I was a Columbia College undergraduate,” another alumnus reportedly recalled, “students ripped off flyers regarding Jewish event [sic] and information regarding Israel and if Israel was included on a map, people would write Palestine across Israel.”
“There were never any consequences,” the alumnus concluded.
