Columbia University's top officials, including President Nemat "Minouche" Shafik, appeared before a United States Congressional committee on Wednesday to address allegations of anti-Semitism on campus. The hearing was reminiscent of another antisemitism hearing in December—when two Ivy League university heads were criticized for their responses to anti-Semitism. They later resigned. But on Wednesday, Columbia University President Shafik was careful to avoid the mistakes that made the previous hearing viral. Shafik pledged strong measures against anti-Semitism and detailed disciplinary actions taken.
