NextImg:Peter MacKinnon: University presidents are facing an uphill battle against illiberalism

Minouche Shafik resigned on Aug. 14 after serving at the helm of New York’s Columbia University for one year. Her appointment was cut short by what she described as a “period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community.” It was reported that she faced opposition for her handling of anti-Israel protests and divisions, in particular her interventions to clear encampments from the campus and to remove protesters occupying one of the university buildings. She also dismissed three Columbia deans for antisemitic exchanges after the university’s Jewish community met to discuss the problems they encountered on campus. Instead of being lauded for decisiveness, she was driven from her job.
