Outspoken Jewish professor barred from Columbia campus — but administration turns blind eye to even bigger tent city springing up

“They are not letting me on main campus,” Davidai told a crowd of pro-Israel rallies at the school’s gate.

The growing chaos at the university has only increased calls for university President Minouche Shafik to resign over her handling of the situation.

Just a day after House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik demanded Shafik retire, the rest of New York’s Republican delegation signed a letter calling on the embattled school president to step down.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has slammed the situation at the university following a meeting with Shafik, city hall and the NYPD.

“The recent harassment and rhetoric is vile and abhorrent,” Hochul said in a statement on X. “Every student deserves to be safe.”

Davidai’s rejection from the campus of his own university prompted a crowd of pro-Israel protesters to shout, “Let him in!” and “Shame!”

“I have not just a civil right, a civil right as a Jewish person to be on campus, I have a right as a professor employed by the university to be on campus,” Davidai said. “They deactivated my card.”

“They are not letting me on main campus,” he told a crowd of pro-Israel rallies at the school’s gate.

Davidai noted the “irony” that his card still grants him access to the university’s Manhattanville campus farther uptown on West 130th Street, where he teaches at the business school.
