Hundreds of Columbia Faculty and Affiliates Call On Administration To Lift ‘Egregious’ Suspension of Israeli-American Professor Shai Davidai
‘Instead of sanctioning Professor Davidai’s response to the University’s inaction in enforcing its own rules to protect the Jewish community, it should sanction those who are breaking the rules,’ the authors of the letter argue.
More than 400 Columbia university faculty and community members are calling on the school’s interim president, Katrina Armstrong, to lift the suspension of an Israel-American professor, Shai Davidai, who was recently banned from campus for allegedly having “harassed and intimidated” fellow faculty members.
The co-authors of the letter express their concern over the school’s “reputation and future” and cite the suspension of Mr. Davidai as yet another example of the school’s “double standard” which “serves to protect other minority groups at Columbia while penalizing its Jewish students and faculty, particularly Israelis.”
