House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to visit Columbia University today to engage with Jewish students and discuss the concerning increase in antisemitism on college campuses across America. His office has confirmed that he will deliver remarks and host a press conference on this pressing issue.
Recent pro-Palestinian protests have caused disruptions at various American universities, including Columbia. Following several days of intense demonstrations, Columbia University has decided to transition to mostly hybrid classes on its main campus until the end of the semester on April 29.
In response to the protests, New York House Republicans have demanded the immediate resignation of Columbia's president, Minouche Shafik, citing her alleged failure to effectively address the situation.
Johnson's visit to Columbia University underscores the growing concerns surrounding antisemitism and the need for constructive dialogue and action to combat such hateful ideologies on college campuses.
