Three Columbia Deans Resign Over Antisemitic Texts
News summary

Three Columbia University deans, Susan Chang-Kim, Cristen Kromm, and Matthew Patashnick, have resigned following the leak of antisemitic text messages exchanged during a panel on Jewish life on campus. The texts, which included vomiting emojis and dismissive remarks about Jewish speakers, were condemned by university president Minouche Shafik for evoking 'ancient antisemitic tropes.' The incident occurred amid heightened tensions and pro-Palestinian protests on campus, and the deans had been placed on leave prior to their resignations. The messages were publicly disclosed by the Washington Free Beacon and scrutinized by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. A fourth dean, Josef Sorett, apologized for his involvement and remains at the university. The university continues to face increasing pressure from lawmakers, alumni, and students regarding its commitment to combating antisemitism.
