Accuracy in Media To Roll Out Billboards Calling for the Resignation of Columbia University’s President
The group is also circulating the ‘Columbia Hates Jews’ petition in support of the president’s resignation.
The conservative press watchdog Accuracy in Media is rolling out mobile billboards and U-Haul moving trucks in an effort to force Columbia University’s president, Nemat Shafik, to resign.
According to a press release from the group, they are “calling for Shafik to immediately resign over her failure to stop rabid antisemitism on campus.”
The group cites a fight, reported by the New York Post, in which an anonymous person attacked an Israeli student with a stick after the student attempted to prevent the assailant from taking down posters with the faces of Israeli hostages.
Accuracy in Media also cited Ms. Shafik’s testimony at a congressional hearing Wednesday, which the group says shows that the university is “unable and unwilling to address antisemitism on campus.”
The group has also begun circulating a “Columbia Hates Jews” petition in support of Ms. Shafik’s resignation. The petition also names Muslim student leaders, conflict resolution, and human rights leaders on campus as “leaders of antisemitism at Columbia University.”
