Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned from the elite institution, according to a report.
Shafik is stepping away after just one year at the helm, which was marked by constant — and sometimes destructive — pro-Palestinian protests, the Free Beacon reported.
The resignation comes just one week after three university deans resigned from Columbia following the exposure of their “very troubling” text chain that disparaged Israeli and Jewish students’ fears of rising anti-Semitism on campus.
It also comes just three weeks before the start of the fall semester.
