Columbia Professor Resigns Over Antisemitism Dispute

News summary

Shai Davidai, a pro-Israel assistant professor at Columbia Business School, has resigned, citing frustration with Columbia University's response to antisemitic and anti-Israel protests following the October 7 Hamas attacks. Davidai, known for his vocal criticism of pro-Palestinian activism and for sharing videos of campus confrontations, was previously suspended over allegations of harassment but was later cleared by the university. Despite being exonerated, he criticized Columbia's leadership for not addressing what he described as widespread antisemitism and inadequate accountability. Notably, Davidai called for the deportation of certain pro-Palestinian students, further polarizing campus opinion. Columbia University confirmed the resignation and thanked him for his service. The case underscores persistent tensions over speech, protest, and university policies at U.S. campuses.
