Antisemitism and anti-Americanism run rampant in American academia

Minouche Shafik certainly ought to go as president of Columbia, along with all her peers across academia who’ve utterly bungled their “tentifada” occupations, but America’s campus rot runs far deeper.

Note the CCNY staff who pulled a sympathy sickout after City College had its encampment cleared, and the Columbia and NYU profs who formed human chains in defense of the students (and outsiders) grossly violating the schools’ rules.

And, as Charlie Gasparino flags, the way elite colleges have taken vast overseas donations in tacit exchange for shaping their faculties and curricula in opposition to Israel (and America).

Heck, notice that Pritzkers serve on the boards of both Columbia and Harvard — even as the Pritzker family foundation funds multiple groups supporting the “pro-Palestinian protests.” 

Mayor Adams is certainly right to stress the role of “outside agitators” in fanning the campus flames, but plenty of “agitators” are deep on the inside, too.  

Don’t relax as a few more heads roll in coming days: Detoxifying these institutions will take years.
