They were caught exchanging texts hostile to Jews, and what makes it worse is that they were doing this during a panel on Jewish life (which has become very difficult) on campus.

The sad thing is that this will probably be all forgiven, and the deans would have had a paid vacation, before they return to their posts. This is, after all, Columbia. And the president is a Muslim immigrant.

 
I am equal parts appalled and unsurprised.

We know that government will do nothing about this ... it remains to be seen what impact (if any) it will have on Columbia's constant solicitation for donations from Jewish alums.

About 30 years ago, when Leonard Jeffries (Hakeem’s uncle) was teaching antisemitic conspiracy theories at CUNY, the donations from all the successful Jewish engineers (who decades earlier has been bright but poor engineering students) dried up bigtime.

The difference is that the school didn’t have a big influx of anti-Jew money from rich Arabs.

Leave isn't good enough. It implies that they will be back as soon as the dust settles.
