New York House Republicans are demanding that Columbia University President Minouche Shafik resign from her position as pro-Palestinian protests erupt on the campus ahead of Passover, a Jewish holiday.

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) led a letter sent to Shafik on Monday saying the president should step down “for failing to put an end to an unsanctioned mob of students and agitators” involved in antisemitic incidents and calls for violence against Jewish students.
