US EditionColumbia Task Force Urges Intellectual Diversity to Address Campus Antisemitism
The task force's final report details widespread faculty-led anti-Israel bias and calls for balanced Middle East expertise and stronger protections for Jewish and Israeli students.
- On Tuesday, Columbia's Task Force on Antisemitism released its fourth and final report urging Columbia University to foster intellectual diversity on Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- Drawing on student testimonies, the report linked ideological conformity and politicized faculty framing to classroom climate and found Columbia lacks full-time tenure-line Middle East scholars who are not explicitly anti-Zionist.
- Other cited incidents included instructors using non-Middle East courses to condemn Israel, such as a public-health instructor in a 400-person class singling out three Jewish university donors.
- Shipman marked the report's release with a letter saying she thanked the task force and Columbia extended its search beyond Jan. 1, 2026, the initial deadline.
- The settlement and federal scrutiny position Columbia as a potential model for sectorwide change after agreeing to pay over $200 million, restoring federal grants and prompting reforms.
