House Committee Criticizes Columbia for Lax Discipline on Protesters

A congressional report reveals Columbia University's failure to adequately discipline students involved in anti-Israel protests, raising concerns about campus safety and antisemitism.

The Education and Workforce Committee's report highlights Columbia's leniency towards students arrested during protests.
Out of 22 students arrested in April, 18 remain in good academic standing, with minimal disciplinary actions taken.
The report accuses Columbia of offering 'get-out-of-jail-free' cards to protest participants, undermining university rules.
Chairwoman Virginia Foxx calls the university's administration 'invertebrate' for not enforcing disciplinary measures.
Columbia University states that disciplinary processes are ongoing but have been delayed due to the volume of cases.
