Resignation of Columbia President Minouche Shafik will not solve the issue of antisemitism.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned — and good riddance. 

Shafik’s tenure was marred by the explosion of ugly Jew-hatred on her campus after Oct. 7 in the form of illegal encampments and widespread intimidation of Jewish students.

Shafik did as little as she could to halt the rising tide, displaying the cowardice so common to Ivy League “leaders” like ex-Harvard and -Penn Presidents Claudine Gay and Liz Magill. 

All three offered a warm embrace to the thugs and terrorists manques on their campuses — and didn’t quite get away as cleanly as they thought they were going to, after they revealed their moral vacuity in embarrassing congressional testimony where they hemmed and hawed about the Hamas-jugend. 

Shafik’s the third of the bunch to step down; MIT’s Sally Kornbluth, another pro-terror prez who testified before the House, is sadly still in place. 

Sadly, though, Shafik’s departure alone will do nothing meaningful to stem antisemitism on campus. The rot driving it runs deep, embedded in the teachings of critical race theory and other quasi-Marxist nonsense that dominate the humanities. 

After Gay left, for example, Harvard began a very public whitewash of what had happened under the guise of investigating antisemitism.

And both Gay and Magill still have cushy gigs at their institutions. 

Shafik left just as the jackbooted Hamas-lovers were threatening even greater disruptions once school begins again — clearly signaling who is actually in charge at Columbia.

Her interim replacement, Katrina Armstrong, is another coward: She released a mealymouthed statement after the terrorist atrocities of Oct. 7 that refused to name them as such and didn’t mention the word Hamas. 

Same Jew-hate, different educrat — and absolutely no reason for donors furious over Columbia’s state to start giving again. 

Yet amazingly, the news isn’t all bad. 

Even as the left revs up its brownshirts, actual, real-world consequences may be coming down the line for the schools that enable them. 

Witness Richard Stearns, the Massachusetts judge who correctly decided that the Harvard students victimized by pro-Hamas thugs can sue the school for its failure to protect them; his ruling also called “bull” on the school’s free-speech justifications for enabling the thuggery. 

And in California, Judge Mark Scarsi has issued a preliminary injunction against UCLA, which saw equally outrageous pogrom tactics — calling the thugs’ efforts to physically bar Jews from certain parts of campus “abhorrent to our constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.”

And he utterly slammed the school for claiming it wasn’t responsible as long as third parties did the terrorizing on its campus.

Given the increasing likelihood of a Harris presidency — under which Jew-hate will be minimized, winked at and encouraged from on high — these rules are welcome news indeed. 

American Jews are going to need every friend they can find.
