House Republican conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik and every New York GOP House lawmaker are demanding that Columbia President Minouche Shafik resign immediately for failing to crack down on a large unauthorized antisemitic riot that has engulfed the university’s campus.
The House Republicans denounce the anarchy at the Morningside Heights university campus that has unfolded over the past few days, with in-person classes canceled on Monday and a prominent rabbi urging Jewish students at Columbia and Barnard to go home before the start of Passover.
They argue that Shafik has failed in her obligation to ensure a safe learning environment for students and that the responsibility for the current situation rests squarely on her shoulders.
The other New York Republican co-signatories include Reps. Nicole Malliotakis, Claudia Tenney, Nick Langworthy, Nick LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, Anthony D’Esposito, Marc Molinaro, Brandon Williams, and Mike Lawler.
