President Joe Biden commented on Monday about protests at Columbia, whether or not he condemns the “antisemitic protests on college campuses,” and if he thinks University President Minouche Shafik should resign.

Robert Kraft, CC ’63, trustee emeritus and chief executive officer of the New England Patriots, announced on Monday that he is “not comfortable” supporting Columbia “until corrective action is taken” to end ongoing protests on and around campus.

The University will enhance security measures on the Morningside campus amid the ongoing presence of the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” and outside protests, Chief Operating Officer Cas Holloway announced in an email to the Columbia community on Sunday evening.

Within Our Lifetime hosted a “Flood Columbia For Gaza” protest at 9 p.m. on Saturday night to support the ongoing “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on South Lawn that began early Wednesday morning and has now entered its fifth day.

The Columbia Jewish Alumni Association sent an open letter to University President Minouche Shafik on Friday to “request that [she] immediately take all possible steps to protect student safety.”

Following the arrests of over 108 individuals from the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on South Lawn, hundreds protested outside the gates and in the streets surrounding the University on Thursday as part of two separate protests organized by non-affiliates in support of those arrested.
