Critics Slam Columbia Univ. As Anti-Israel Protests Force ‘Hybrid’ Classes Until Year’s End

Virginia Kruta, The Daily Wire: Critics want their money back from Columbia U

Columbia University is under fire yet again after a memo went out late on Monday informing all students and staff that remote or hybrid learning would be the standard until the semester ends.

The announcement came as anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests have created an environment — on Columbia’s campus and at other colleges such as Yale — where Jewish students do not feel safe. After protesters chanted slogans calling for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of Israel — and one protester was seen holding a sign calling on Al Qasam (the militant wing of the terrorist group Hamas) to target fellow students who carried Israeli and American flags — classes initially were switched to remote for the day on Monday.
