A Message From President Shafik

- President Minouche Shafik delivered a message from Columbia’s Morningside campus to students on Friday, May 3.
“Every one of us has a role to play in bringing back the values of truth and civil discourse that polarization has severely damaged,” she said. “Here at Columbia, parallel realities and parallel conversations have walled us off from other perspectives. … Working together, I know we can break down these barriers.
The issues that are challenging us-the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, antisemitism, and anti-Arab and anti-Muslim bias-have existed for a long time. And Columbia, despite being a remarkable institution, cannot solve them singlehandedly. What we can do is be an exemplar of a better world where people who disagree do so civilly, recognize each other’s humanity, and show empathy and compassion for one another.
We have a lot to do, but I am committed to working at it, every day and with each of you, to rebuild community on our campus.”
The trust you have broken with your students will never be repaired.
what is the current situation with the protests ?
as an Egyptian
shame on you Minouche
you are a disgrace to academia.
go to Palestine and fight
she talks like hypocrite
She's not genuine.
@@Crystallis6222 Agreed!
well she has a lot of woke nazis jew haters as students to deal with
A lying hypocrite.
She sounds grounded
Seriously, when you call the police for the students before, were they occupying Hamilton hall??!
Yeah lol
I like to name it Hind's Hall.
Step down madam
Grand ma
She seriously hasn't resigned yet? She will end up being asked out by whoever might have lobbied her in initially anyway
RESIGN SHAFIK
you can talk normally, but why does she have to resign? She just said the right thing.
The embodiment of 'shame'
An alum here. History will judge you harshly and forever.
This woman singlehandedly ignited the worldwide college protests.
she even cancels the commencement without informing the students 😩
How sad, with the role that you are blessed with, can respond with such little insight. Your statement, written no doubt by someone else, are full of platitudes. This is a complex situation and your empty words fail to recognize that complexity. A nice smile and a surplus of hand gestures won't solve the situation you need to address with intelligence not empty statements. From listening to you, and listening to my daughter, a student at Columbia, I now understand you are not up to this. Do yourself, Columbia and it's brave students, a favor and step down. Today.
Resign now.
❄
she's definitely gonna look at this comment.
Boycott Columbia!
Get out of this country...
why a boycott? She said it was supposed to be a the place of community it's not supposed to be a place of violent things like what would you like this to happen, do you want this at your house because it will not be fun
@@fanta3702 too late. For someone like you who doesn't know the history of Columbia. This is the second time this happened by the uni in the last 50 years. Of course you live in a free world to do as you please.and to do as I please......is that a problem? Do you have a problem with that? Well if so, it's your problem. And if you believe one word she said. You're naive. Have a lovely day.
@@nobo764 maybe because I live in America maybe makes a little different maybe because colleges are investing into arms. but I want to just one thing if you want a boycott one School you have to boycott all of them. I can't do one. but also if you boycott it, it could lead to economical damage.
This address was written by the Israel Public Relations Bureau
sold out her students, sold out her staff to make investors happy. awful spineless person
Fire her!
Obviously I made the right choice Not going to Columbia Law School. Absolutely Shameful President Shafik!!
what do you want her to do? She said the right thing and that's the rule to the college. every other college has the same type of rules so if you have something about that, go to every single other college and shame every other person
And she peacefully arrested the emcamping students!!
I'm surprised she didn't try to have them killed e.g. Kent state
She didn't protect students. She wanted to protect her position. School's priority should be ' Students safety'. She should have tried to talk with them first not using brutal police crackdown. She is not qualified to work at school.
You called the police on your students 10 days before they occupied the hall
They set up tents on private property and threatened and harrassed other students.
She should have reacted quicker.
Resign first bcoz u didnt take any action
Unless She resignS She has NOTHING TO SAY..
Step down
she's not gonna read this comment...
What a mouthful.
Shameless woman
She is Hamas sympathizer.
no one asked the Palestinian students how they are supposed to "feel safe" and "welcomed" at a University that invests in and profits off of the muder of their relatives. this is shameful.
Do Not Step Down...
STAND STRONG 💪🏻
There are those that protest against a genocide and then everyone else. The Columbia students are on the right side of history and I wish you would risk whatever privileged position you think you have by supporting them.
They are supporting Hamas. You know, the ones who _actually_ called for genocide against Israel.
They’re not speaking _against_ genocide_ but in favour of one.
President Shafik, you are put in a hard place to protect free speech AND fight hate speech, to allow students to voice their opinions AND protect the wellbeing of your campus. I feel for your tough position where (in this case) middle ground means you cannot win from either side.
Its hard to ignore the haters, but know they are not the ones who support your integrity or your responsibility as President. May your inner strength grow from all this.
I don’t think she was prepared for such a huge complex issue -
100% agreed
@@constancedenchy9801 read Qur'an and islam then comment I hope u won't be Islamophobic after reading it...
Ok got it,
It means we have to do more,
" you the students paid a high price " yeah almost 100k a year.
Antisemetism must be terminated.
1968 Columbia University protests reborn!
Wrong. Get a refund for your grade school diploma.
Sending the policy to beat students?!?
you're not beating the students or not assaulting them it put other students in their faculty people people in other lives. also, it's a rule of every other college. so if you want it like put this in a comment, you have to do research.
This Woman is Sold
She should’ve been fired yesterday
Not if AIPAC supports her
why should she be fired? She didn't really do nothing bad put yourself in her feet. What would you feel like?
I seriously don’t understand since when the president of a 2:08 prestigious university in US could have so little research experiences and credentials. Since when! One and only one 3:05 widely cited paper and almost just a copy of another paper?!
From the river to the sea, not one dime of tax payer money to Columbia or its students.
Columbia University should allow students their 1st Amendment Rights
You should step down along with your colleagues who propagated this outcome. Lip service means nothing with such weak and morally confused leadership.
she's not weak you're kind of weak for not researching before commenting
Who would have thought that equity, diversion and inclusion would turn into uniformity/conformity.
GFY
Sacrifice the flower of the nation on the altar of greed and you will have no fruit in the future.
To step down would be her most noble act and would be damage control for her dignity.
Howard Stern was caught in rain.
Columbia protesting students mad 😅
So you listened enough before calling NYPD on your own students? Step down. NOW.
Huh. Who got hurt before the police showed up?
This is Karine Jean Pierre went 😂😂 says a lot from that sentence
She made up charges against innocent students then had them violently arrested, made the homeless. She is such a disgrace. What university president does that to their own students? She is not competent to be in her role.
When people started cosplaying Hamas you should have taken a firmer hand as the administration. Instead you sissy footed it to the point the cops needed to be called. This started with the safe rooms from trigger words. Im not saying bring back the rulers either. If a micro aggression sets you off, please talk to someone. Meantal health is important.
Ppl have a first amendment right to cosplay whoever TF THEY WANT. If you can’t handle free speech go somewhere else.
Old lady
Divest.
Withdraw all funding
As Columbia alumni, I ask you and all your trustees to resign……..
she's not gonna read this comment
Higher education is officially a fn joke 😅
You broke the students' hearts, shame on you
nono no I’m a 63 Yr old woman from MT get over your egos!
It's not Hamilton Hall anymore, use the new name
You picked the wrong side of history. You clearly did not learn from your fellow Palestinian brothers and sisters what courage means
Resign NOW!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahhaa clown shoes
"Every one of us has a role".....starting with not calling the police on our students -- much better to try to be on the right side of history!
Waste president
The Islamophobic hatered is so obvious in the comments
I'm sorry that the anti genocide people are embarrassing you in front of your donors. That must be really hard for you.
Educational Spaces are for learning. These CANNOT become political hotspots which does not take time in becoming infernos, tornadoes, volcanoes.....all of that which destroys the purpose of the Educational Space, for which parents sacrifice their savings to send their children to learn in an environment which promotes discipline and not mindlessness in the name of freedom. Education is costly, and therefore it's a Business, and it is the duty of this Business, this Institution (or any Institution) to NOT allow it's Teachers and Students, respectively, to engage in activities that are not meeting the objectives of the Institution, within the premise and a radius of the Institution. Students with Teachers are free to have conversations across various topics, but the Educational Space CANNOT be allowed to be taken over by a Protest Culture and impose itself on the other Students and most importantly, the Institution itself.
In such situations, for Institutions to rely upon the 'sweetness of tolerance' and for it to 'plead and urge' protestors to stop the protest, is not only playing blind, but exhibits disrespect towards the Institution. Those managing the Institution CANNOT be seen vacillating and being indecisive in taking action to bring back the order and decorum in it's working. The Institution must WANT to take the required action against miscreants and not be seen as being lenient against such acts of bullying. The Institution MUST NOT feel shy to exhibit it's authority in such situations, and not uselessly engage with such elements which are vitiating the atmosphere of an Educational Space.
Whatever has happened in Columbia University and all other American universities, is a complete failure of the Institutional Authority to take decisive action in evicting these protestors from the campus. This shows that the Institutional Authorities are themselves involved or are incompetent to take action or were under pressure to not take action. All of which just shows that American Universities are in a state of mess and have lost their Educational Values by allowing themselves to be taken over by a pack of protestors. In brief, American Universities are UNSAFE which promotes bullies and bullying.
Great essay bruv 😅
@@diegoesteta Appreciate you taking out time to read it 👍
Delusional, out of reality & very bad actor
Resign now
What a dangerous place to call an educational institution. Dont go there!
🤙🏾cheehoo
If I were in your university, youve made my academic studies ruined and wasteful that made my money worthless to study in your university
President Shafik should be fired immediately. I am surprised how she got into this position.
What did the student president do to quel the start of the protest. Nothing. Sending fear into Israel students.
Great speech from deep heart
Divest and defund Columbia
You hypocrites. You let this happen and embraced it
Shameful.
انتي فاكرها جامعة عين شمس للأسف
مينوش شفيق، رئيسة جامعة كولومبيا، نتاج الأوليغارشية الغربية
وأقتبس أدناه _ بين علامتي اقتباس_ ما قاله الصحفي الكبير إدوارد هوسون: "إن البارونة شفيق، رئيسة جامعة كولومبيا، التي وقعت في خضم اضطرابات المظاهرات الطلابية في غزة، هي نتاج خالص للأوليغارشية الغربية. وهي ابنة عائلة مسلمة من النخبة المصرية التي سلبها عبد الناصر، ودرست في أفضل الجامعات ثم بدأت حياتها المهنية كخبير اقتصادي جامعي، قبل أن تصبح، في السادسة والثلاثين من عمرها، نائبة رئيس البنك الدولي. حصلت السيدة شفيق على لقب فارس للخدمات التي قدمتها للتاج، وحصلت على إجازة من مجلس اللوردات عندما جاء مجلس أمناء جامعة كولومبيا ليعرض عليها رئاسة كولومبيا. مدام شفيق هي في بعض النواحي حلم النخبة الغربية الذي تحقق: امرأة مسلمة تتولى مناصب رفيعة المستوى تدخلها في الدائرة المغلقة للعالم الحاكم الناطق باللغة الإنجليزية. كانت الاحتجاجات الطلابية بمثابة دعوة قاسية للاستيقاظ لـ "مينوش في أرض عجائب العولمة". ماذا يحدث عندما يطالب الطلاب بتوسيع نطاق إدانة "ثقافة الإلغاء" لتشمل الفلسطينيين؟ وعندما يطالبون بأن تتجاوز ثقافة الإدماج المصالحة بين الحكومات العربية وإسرائيل لتشمل التفاوض مع المقاومة الفلسطينية؟ »
كلامي أنا بعد انتهاء الاقتباس : كيف أقول لكم؟ أبحث عن طريقة للتعبير لكم عن نوع من التناقض. فيما يلي بيانات المشكلة:
1. بعثت الرئيسة مينوش شفيق برسالة إلى نائب المفوض للشؤون القانونية بقسم شرطة نيويورك بتاريخ 30 إبريل 2024.
2. السيدة مينوش شفيق من أصل مصري. ومع ذلك، فهي تحمل جنسية ثلاثية. فهي إذن مصرية وإنجليزية وأمريكية في نفس الوقت. مثل اليهود في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، فإن أصولها تجذبها نحو اهتماماتها. احتجاجات الطلاب في إحدى الجامعات تمنحها فرصة لطعن الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل في جنبهما. ونظرًا لمنصبها كرئيسة للجامعة أو عميدة مسؤولة، يمكنها استدعاء الشرطة لاستعادة النظام في مباني الكلية. أشعلت هذه المرأة الذكية النار وأشعلت الشرارة الأولى لإثارة رد فعل الطلاب. رد الفعل الذي من المرجح أن يستمر لفترة طويلة، والذي سيكون له عواقب غير متوقعة اليوم وتاريخ ذكرى سنوية. أحسنت يا سيدتي العزيزة! لا يمكننا أن نفعل ما هو أفضل! يرحمك الله !
3. وهكذا تم كشف النقاب عن الديمقراطية الأمريكية، وأصبح غضب الطلاب معديًا، ولا يمكن للدول التابعة للولايات المتحدة إلا أن تتبعه. إنه لشيء رائع ! هذه السيدة الصغيرة ذات المظهر الخائف والبريء زرعت فتنة شرسة ضد الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل وأستراليا و كندا والعديد من حلفاء إسرائيل الآخرين مثل فرنسا وإنجلترا! يا لها من ضربة معلم! أحسنت يا سيدتي العزيزة! لا يمكننا أن نفعل ما هو أفضل! يرحمك الله !
4. إن إيثار هذه السيدة الصغيرة وكرمها أكثر روعة لأنها لا تطلب شيئًا في المقابل. على العكس من ذلك، فهي تقبل أن يُحكم عليها كنوع من الخونة لخدمة قضية نبيلة بالطريقة الوحيدة الممكنة والفعالة في هذا العالم الذي يمشي على رأسه. شكرا سيدتي ! أحسنت ! يرحمك الله ! فهو، على الأقل، ليس مخطئًا في نواياك وسيكافئك يومًا ما على هذه اللفتة الذكية والفعالة!
5. الأمر المأساوي هو أن هذه السيدة الصغيرة الرائعة لا تستطيع حتى الكشف عن الآليات الأساسية لأفعالها للأشخاص الذين تحبهم. سيعتبرها الفلسطينيون والعرب والمسلمون عدوًا، بينما هي تحبهم في أعماق قلبها. فلنرقى إلى مستوى ذكائها وندعو الله أن يعينها. شكرا سيدتي الصغيرة! الله يكون معك !
Never seen hypocritical speach like this one
Free Palestine, free peace to your students
1:44 Values of civil discourse cant be maintained in state of inequality
GET HER OUT
shame on you
Those students are my heroes! ♥️
mine too!!
Where are the protests against the concentration camps for the Uighurs where a million people were locked up and many tortured and sterilized? Are Chinese students being bullied and harassed on the basis of their nationality?
They aren't heroes. The 1st amendment says we have free speech not the right to occupy and damage buildings. It's shock how ignorant and immature they are. All they did was turn people against the cause.
@@Veto-ei4np no one harasses jewish students based on their nationality or religion, this is a protest against zionism. and the uighurs deserve just as much attention
@@Veto-ei4np Is Columbia complicit in that as well?
Shame on you niamat
Pay back the tuition
Gaslighting.
You tradee your humanity and integrity for a cheap price. Shame on you
Shame!!
Israel-palestine conflict 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How pathetic! She needs to step down.
WHERE IS THE EXPULSION! It’s cost us a lot of money and we are cheated by your sympathy to tolerate the madness & damage at our expense. Either the school accounts for our losses or You resign.
She did absolutely nothing wrong. The students took it to far so law enforcement being called in is on them. 1st amendment says you have free speech not the right to occupy and damage a building that doesn't belong to you. The cops even gave them a chance to leave the building and avoid being arrested. Bottom line All of you whining about Columbia because you're mad about what's happening in Gaza have a lot of growing up to do.
With moral clarity like this, you clearly are meant to be a university president of the caliber and integrity on display here with Shafik herself. Congratulations.
"You are mad with what's happening in gaza" grow up please .
You should resign you are not an affective leader of a free school only for certain cultures
Step down. You should’ve called the cops on these criminals days ago. These criminals are violating nuisance laws against your house.
The other side? What side? Genocide?
They can say the same about your Allah fighters on october 7
Boycot Columbia University!!
resign plz
