About this listen
In this episode, we explore the recent resignation of Minouche Shafik, President of Columbia University, after a tumultuous year marked by intense scrutiny and controversy. As tensions escalated on campus, Shafik faced criticism for her handling of incidents involving violence against Jewish students, sparking a nationwide conversation about campus safety, leadership accountability, and the challenges faced by academic institutions in today’s polarized climate.
We’ll discuss her resignation letter, which notably contained no apology, and what this reveals about her perspective on the issues at hand. Join us as we examine the events leading to her resignation, the reactions from the university community and beyond, and the implications for the future of leadership in higher education. We’ll hear from experts, students, and faculty who experienced the fallout firsthand, as well as consider the broader context of rising anti-Semitism on campuses across the country.
Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on the complexities of navigating free speech, student safety, and institutional responsibility in a rapidly changing world.
