Columbia University deans resign after ‘antisemitic tropes’ scandal

Three Columbia deans have resigned from the university three months after engaging in a text exchange that the university’s president said “touched on ancient antisemitic tropes.”

They had been placed on indefinite leave in June as an investigation continued.
