Columbia professor blasts university for ‘weaponizing’ anti-Semitism fund
A Columbia University professor has published an open letter questioning the university’s settlement fund for employees who have experienced anti-Semitism following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks against Israel.
The professor, James Schamus, published the letter on July 28. The message, addressed to Acting President Claire Shipman, follows Columbia’s recent agreement with the Trump administration to resolve federal discrimination investigations.
In the piece, Schamus writes, “So, a quick question for you: Where can I sign up for my share of those Crazy Columbia Antisemitism Cash Dollars???” The professor also asks whether the fund will be distributed among Jewish employees, or only to those experiencing anti-Semitism.
Schamus accuses the Columbia administration of “weaponizing” anti-Jewish discrimination for political purposes. “The more you go all-out weaponizing antisemitism in the context of Israel’s mass murder spree, the more Columbia $$$ you earn,” he writes.
According to his biography on Columbia’s website, Schamus is a screenwriter, producer, director, and author with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. He serves as a professor of Professional Practice Film and Media Studies.
A Columbia spokesperson told Campus Reform that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) settlement fund will compensate employees who experienced “discrimination or harassment experienced since October 7, 2023.”
“Other employees with claims regarding Title VII discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation by Columbia based on race, ethnicity, national origin, and/or religion stemming from antisemitism who have not yet filed claims between October 7, 2023 and the effective date of the agreement are also are eligible to participate in the Fund,” the spokesperson added.
This month, Columbia has come under heightened scrutiny for allegations about anti-Semitism on its campus.

Allow me to address a few words to my fellow Jewish faculty members:
So the white nationalist hammer is coming down on Columbia University, which is being made an example of, in order to scare all institutions of higher education into falling in line with the Musk/Trump plan to destroy any and all potential civil society nodes of resistance to the authoritarian regime they are putting in place. Don’t be fooled: the excuse they are using to destroy the institution—that Columbia is incorrigibly antisemitic—is, of course, the exact opposite of what is happening. They are coming after Columbia precisely because the University is, to the (not-) “populist” base in front of whom they perform their Hitler salutes and at whom they hose their antisemitic memes, an emblem precisely of Jewishness: it’s “globalist,” “cosmopolitan,” New York-based, “liberal,” etc.
Of course the nationalists coming after us are also pro-Israel—they love the idea that there is an ethnonationalist garrison state to which all Jews should send themselves, and which will most likely self-destruct anyway in a cataclysmic orgy of Armageddon-like violence. And the Netanyahu-aligned establishment Jewish [sic] organizations, such as the ADL, who today are cheering on the destruction of Columbia, are more than happy to make common cause with their fellow nationalists—so long as the billions and billions of dollars’ worth of bombs keep flowing Israel’s way.
This twit was born to a Jewish family. Perhaps we don’t deserve to continue to exist considering the numbers of devolving degenerates like this shmuck we continue to spawn.
Are Orthodox Jews & Israeli Jews the only two groups among the Jewish people who are reproducing at and above replacement rates?
