Amidst ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, protests on college campuses have escalated, particularly at Columbia University. The arrest of over 100 students during pro-Palestine demonstrations has sparked backlash against the university’s president, Minouche Shafik, with calls for her resignation. The Biden administration has condemned the protests as antisemitic. Protesters, including a significant number of Jewish students, have denied antisemitic allegations. Safety concerns for Jewish students on campus have led to the suspension of at least three Barnard College students and the transition to online classes.
