Billionaire halts donations to Columbia, says leaders’ actions ‘antithetical to the University’s mission’
Another Ivy League school just lost a major donor due to concerns about its leaders’ actions regarding antisemitism.
Billionaire Mortimer Zuckerman, who is Jewish, decided to stop supporting Columbia University after lengthy discussions failed to allay his concerns, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
Among other things, the New York university is facing criticism for not firing four deans who were caught mocking a campus panel on antisemitism. It also canceled graduation in the spring due to virulent anti-Israel protests.
“The recent decisions and actions taken by Columbia have been antithetical to the University’s mission …” a spokeswoman for Zuckerman told the Free Beacon. “We will continue to evaluate the situation in the hope that Columbia will restore its reputation, standing and mission as a respected educational institution.”
