Chair Foxx Rips Columbia President's Testimony After Tense Antisemitism Hearing 

Just like UPenn and Harvard, that Columbia president MUST GO!!!!

Incompetent! Disgraceful!!

These people in academia thought that they would not be held accountable.

FIRE HER,!

Show me the money. Someone is paying for this movement.

Why was it so hard for the Columbia president to answer questions? Virginia Fox is a classy woman.

Her last name is "Shafiq" which in arabic means: (tender or forgiving). So, if the name is her husband's last name or if it was her maiden name then she is of arabic background and NAURALLY will be biased against the Jews and to the side of the arabs/hammas/islam. She must have got her job thanks to the quattari and islamic grants sent to U of Columbia.

She should be sacked right now

At the end of the day if you have students that are being targeted for being black , Jewish or any ethnicity then that cannot be allowed . Debate yes , abuse and intimidation can fester and spread .

Thanks to Virginia and others for standing up for what is right

Columbia U. is financed with Qatar money. What do you expect?

WOW....she hesitated to terminate him as chairperson. What a FRAUD

She seems like the type of lady that should be running a thrift shop.

Tragic what has happened to our one time prestigious Universities.

Why is Ms. Shavik still the president of Columbia University??? If it were any other ethnic group that were targeted, called ethnic slurs, intimidated and harassed, those protests would have been shut down and the students and professors disciplined. The university's non-response is pathetic and shows complicity.

Its not protesting its antisocial domestic terrorism.

Is this real? Are we really in 2024?

Haha as a woman I laughed at your comment that its nice to see woman presidents but oh boy … I want to see leadership act like leaders. Sick of seeing women in leadership positions not take a firm position. Chair Foxx is a leader … want to see more like her …

This is moral cowardice

So the label of the protest is more important than the subjective nature of the activities? If Hitler called his extermination attempt, "train rides for freedom," he'd be looked at differently by historians?

Didn’t she have all these months to prepare!!! She was jittery, on edge, unsure in her answers. Negative body language. Just angers you 🤮

She clearly needs to find her way out!

Why was this Jew hating Professor appointed? Says it all. WHO IS PAYING THEM……

She is Egyptian, it says a lot.

There is a need to establish term limits for these individuals.

Considering that she has had months to prepare, the President of Columbia performed poorly and brought no honor to her school. She should be sacked!

Shameful,disgraceful,

Can't this woman stand up for herself and her university?

If she wants to keep her job she better step the f up

A significant stoppage for contributions by donors will speak louder than anything else. It is time for Universities to be held accountable for their actions.

Why is this foreign Muslim president of Columbia?

What bothers me is the President’s hesitancy. Why can they not take a stand.

Does the college pres have an isis membership card?

This is DEI in action. Hiring people who have no business being in the position they are in.

Why are ONLY the ELITE universities brought out for investigation and interviewed on TV? Im suffering academically and emotionally at a Baptist Seminary in Virginia....HELP ME!!! No one gives a crap about my experience.

She was appalling, gaslighting, lying and spewing bs throughout her testimony.

Deeply sad for the parents who have paid a lot of money for their children to radicalised🙏

All the history of dehumanization of Jewish people is ignored in order to dehumanize once again.

That woman being questioned by congress is a fruit loop 😅

She needs to be fired from her job because she's lying and will not do anything to stop the racist actions of the students

Never s straight answer or truth from a Lib

Maybe need a male president who has BRAIN and use it

At least she did not smirk, which is what those other Presidents did

Sack Shafik now

Solution? In the absence of changes then withdraw all fed funds and bar foreign funding of Columbia altogether. NOW

Do any "elite" schools hire non-DEI administrators anymore? We know they need the Jews to teach math and physics, so they hand all the administrative and BS fluff subjects to DEI candidates. Merit-based systems should never have been abandoned for the sake of "equity." The result is a moral catastrophe.

Can you do this type of demonstrations in Iran or Muslim countries?That president should be sacked

The Ivy League schools went woke way before woke became a household word.

You cannot control your students and allow them to conduct hostile actions INSIDE the campus. Please have someone that can control the students. They are young and full of idealism and lack of self control ....

Maybe we should get some men as presidents because it doesn’t seem to be working with all these women presidents that does it. No, it does not.

Thank you Chair Foxx

How much $ from Federal purse is granted to Columbia University receive?

What a weak woman the Colombia president! Couldn’t lead a girl scout troop.

The Dumbing Down Of America - Charlotte Iserbyt...should be held as standard operating procedure of Americans..!!

Am I the only one noticing that this type of behviour started to become acceptable when Women started having executive roles? I wonder why that is that all 4 are women?

antisemis don't change

these women seem to feel they are above being questioned about morality etc because of their positions at these universities

Her hesitation and difficulty calling it what it is, straight up unvarnished JEW HATRED, is unreal! How people can be so obsessed and filled with hatred, to me is unimaginable. I may dislike people or not care for them, but this degree of obsession in a psychosis!

Do these people know the definition of a semite? What kind of university is this? What kind of journalism is this?

Thanks for speaking so clearly!

Virginia Fox Is one of the good guys..Not very many of those in DC..

University president are all in support of what has happened. They all love it. Just like the man said ‘awesome’. They all feel it’s awesome. These guys are barbarous

TAKE.THE. GRANTS. AWAY ..

Omar loves it

reminds me of the holy inquisition, how many innocents were declared devil worshipers and condemned?

Why do Ivey League presidents stutter so much?

Even the news host realised the university President was just another quota hire.

She is actually a member of the house of lords in england...

The constant nodding by the president while she speaks is a sign that she’s trying to convince herself that she’s not lying. 😂

Problem is there were really no serious "consequences" even after they admittedly admitted that there were many acts I anti- semitism.

What an absolute JOKE..!! House Committee on Education & the Workforce should stand down and return to English classes for basic English 101. How dare this bunch of fools pretend they know about education....what a bloody joke..!!

The Supreme Court has identified narrow exceptions to the First Amendment, including but not limited to speech that constitutes unlawful incitement, true threats, intimidation, or discriminatory harassment. Some of these carefully-defined exceptions encompass speech that one might identify as hate speech.

What I don't understand is when any student enrolls at any college they have to agree to standards of behaviors and I'll bet those standards include not doing what the students at Columbia are doing...so why isn't the President expelling these students for violating the standards of conduct?

it is normally considered discourteous to wear a hat indoors not to mention a place of reverence.

stefanik has real balls

If this is academia who needs it? Why pay so much money for these results? Oh brother

Didn't people read Thomas Sowell before reading history?

Believing in democracy... presupposes listening to the opposite opinion.

Yeah………where is the money coming from?

What is the point in congress?

How could taxpayers/doners find people sitting on the top at CU could have performed in such a manner to be acceptable? Entirely disappointing and pathetic to see. No doubt why many woke students could have acted so irrationally there during the recent months.

How horrible the president could not answer questions!, Barely

Columbia along with many other Universities is caught between a rock and a hard place over the Palestinian/Gaza issue. Certainly the actions of the Israeli government need to be analyzed critically with reference to what the world sought to achieve with the Geneva Conventions after the atrocities of World War II. A University should be a place where reasonable discussion and analysis of the issue can occur, which is why the principle of academic freedom is so important not only to scholarship but to providing the world with objective critique of issues that determine global justice and morality. However, due to the high costs related to maintaining universities, they absolutely need government funding to survive financially. Which means they must be very conscious of not offending the political ideologies of the ruling political parties that control the government bodies that appropriate and disburse government funding for universities. Considering how many elected Federal officials in the US receive campaign donations from funding sources with ties to or affinities with the Israeli government, it is inevitable that there is a strong political force in the US government that does not want to see the kind of objective critique of the Israeli government that their actions against the Palestinian people truly deserve. Which puts a university and its administrators and trustees in a very difficult position. If they fulfill their institutional role as a venue for honest and open analysis of world problems, they jeopardize the funding that keeps them open. Yet without their apolitical research and its conclusions, where else is the world able to find reason to unite against a country or ideology that violates the standards of law and ethics that are a necessary part of civil society ? This is yet another baneful consequence of the corrupting influence of re-election fundraising that grossly distorts the effective governance of society. We see it manifest in fiscal irresponsibility, belligerent defense policies, and ineffective government oversight of our environment, our foods, and our medicines. The populations of democracies the world over need to figure out some way to stop this corrupting influence of money in politics and government, lest government ceases to be the bulwark it needs to be against societal disorder. How can the people of the world community consider themselves to be at all civilized if for the sake of money the propagation of war and genocide is permitted to occur unabated and unpunished ? Its a travesty that violates every good act that humanity has taken over the centuries to better its own plight in this world. When the role of money in government prevents good people from exposing wrongful action in the hope of correcting it for the betterment of the collective condition of humanity on earth, then politics has gone too far and needs to be curtailed by the people who are governed. Which is the real message being sent by the protesters at Columbia and elsewhere, whether they realize it or not. The time has come for universities and their leaders to stand up to the government that funds them and demand the freedom to research the world's problems without fear of government reprisal. Because inevitably, if the universities do not take a stand on the side of righteousness and social order, there will be little reason for them to exist anyway. So if they are going to become extinct institutions that devolve into government propaganda factories, they should at least go down on the side of justice. And then just maybe they will find that the people of their respective countries will save them from the oppression of government that cares about money more than justice and order.

she cannot answer YES OR NO

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I feel for this president. She gets mercilessly grilled for not disciplining the protesters so the next day she starts suspending protesters and this triggers larger protests calling for her resignation. Why do the students have such power? Why don't they just tell them to go someplace else. There are plenty of people who would love to take their place.

They are why the students act like they do

Are there any American students at this university?

What's with the "echo," Newsmax?

This woman should not run Columbia university or any university all together.

nemat sharif is egyptian > what do you expect

PATHETIC !!! The body language is screaming out🤬

Kornblutt is still in her position.

Finally. An Ameri Can. Hurrah.

Ιn universities, you don't learn cooking recipes... you complete your personality

She has to go, period!

Chairman Fox don't play and kicks serious ace

She should have gone a while ago.

She was far better than the smirking, arrogant Harvard and Penn Presidents. Once they got in a combative exchange, they refused to say anything the least bit agreeable to Stefanik. Felt like thay had to give a condescending, deep-thinker response to the simplest of questions. Not even a 'yes' to a simple question of whether calling for genocide is against harassment policy. The Colombia Prez said 'yes' when appropriate (with hesitation). She did make clear that some questions aren't so cut and dried, while acknowledging that others are. She was fine.

The Newsmax guy on the left. You ever see poltergeist 2 ?
