Embattled Columbia University Agrees to New Safety Measures for Jewish Students on Campus
‘We’re looking forward to the next phase, which is helping the Columbia community (and we hope universities more broadly) return to real, well-informed debate on these issues,’ an attorney who helped sue the university says.

Columbia University caved to the pressure of Jewish students who feared for their lives on campus during pro-Palestinian protests, agreeing to provide “walking escorts,” a “safe passage liaison,” and opportunities to make up missed exams.
The accommodations are part of a settlement reached in a Manhattan federal court Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by an unnamed female student in her second year at Columbia. She sued Columbia’s trustees in April for allegedly failing to uphold the university’s promise to establish an educational environment free of harassment and discrimination.
