Hundreds of students, faculty, staff, and alumni are calling for the resignations of four senior administrators at Columbia University after text messages revealed apparently antisemitic sentiments in light of pro-Palestinian protests on campus.
The petition, which began being circulated Tuesday, appears to have garnered more than 600 signatures so far, and it calls on university president Minouche Shafik and the Board of Trustees to relieve four deans of their duties after text messages showed the deans downplaying concerns of Jewish students on campus and claiming that some Jewish leaders were using the protests to raise money.
