Senator Marco Rubio has urged Columbia University President Minouche Shafik to refund students who missed out on educational services due to a month-long anti-Israel encampment on campus. The encampment involved antisemitic language, the takeover of a campus building, and pro-Hamas chants and signage. Notably, Jewish students were told to leave campus due to safety concerns. The university failed to respond to the illegal rioters until nearly two weeks later, leading to the cancellation of the undergraduate commencement ceremony and in-person final exams. Rubio, a potential running mate for former President Trump, suggests a refund of $6,400 per student for the three-week interruption in services.
