In response to what they describe as a "large unauthorized antisemitic riot" engulfing the campus of Columbia University, House Republican conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik and every New York GOP House lawmaker have demanded the immediate resignation of Columbia president Minouche Shafik. The call for her resignation comes after repeated failures to crack down on the escalating antisemitic incidents taking place on campus.

Stefanik and the nine other Republican representatives from New York penned a letter exclusively obtained by The Post, stating, "It is time for Columbia University to turn the page on this shameful chapter. This can only be done through the restoration of order and your prompt resignation." They further urged Shafik to step down immediately, emphasizing the need for someone who will take decisive action against the ongoing mob violence and intimidation.

The House Republicans condemned the "anarchy" that has unfolded at the Morningside Heights campus over the past few days. As a result, in-person classes were canceled on Monday, and a prominent rabbi urged Jewish students to leave before the start of Passover. The lawmakers held Shafik accountable for the unsafe learning environment, stating, "By every measure, you have failed this obligation."

Last week, Stefanik and bipartisan members of the House Education and Workforce Committee interrogated Shafik on her failures to protect Jewish students from intimidation, harassment, and assaults by anti-Israel demonstrators, following the terror attack by Hamas. Reports emerged of Jewish students being targeted for wearing Star of David necklaces and hearing derogatory chants in the campus dining halls.

The situation escalated when demonstrators erected dozens of tents on campus, advocating for divestment from Israel and making inflammatory statements, defending Hamas' actions and calling for the eradication of the Jewish state. Despite the arrest of over 100 participants in the "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" by the NYPD, the demonstration was shockingly allowed to reconvene without police intervention.

Shafik issued a statement on Monday, pleading with the students to go home. She acknowledged the severe strain on the university community and the need to address security concerns. However, her pleas did not mitigate the demands for her resignation.

In a show of bipartisan support, Democratic lawmakers visited the campus on Monday, with some expressing their expectations for Shafik to enforce university policies that protect Jewish students and faculty. Pro-Israel Senator John Fetterman and Bronx Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres signaled their support for ousting Shafik if she does not change course.

Critics argue that Shafik's testimony before Congress was hollow, citing conflicting statements regarding the accountability of professors accused of antisemitism. Joseph Massad, a professor accused of discriminatory comments, claimed to be unaware of any investigation against him and stated that he remains in his position as chair of the Academic Review Committee.

The letter from House Republicans accuses Shafik of covering up a lack of punishment for Joseph Massad, calling her commitment to enforcement into question. Concerns continue to mount as Columbia University faces increasing scrutiny for its handling of the antisemitic incidents.

As the pressure intensifies, the fate of Columbia University's leadership hangs in the balance, with calls for Shafik's resignation highlighting the urgent need for action to address the rising tide of antisemitism on campus.
