In the middle of pro-Palestinian protests that sent campuses into turmoil, administrators at Columbia University appear to have downplayed alleged antisemitism and claimed that Jewish leaders at the school might fundraise off the issue.

According to a series of text messages obtained by the House Education and Workforce Committee through its inquiry into the response to antisemitism on Columbia’s campus, several administrators were apparently dismissive of concerns from Jewish students and said some of the claims of antisemitism were an opportunity to raise money.
