WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Columbia University President Minouche Shafik said she resigned on Wednesday, nearly four months after overseeing the university’s handling of campus protests over Israel’s war in Gaza.
“It has also been a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community. This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community,” Shafik said in an email to staff and students.
