New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft announced Monday that he was pulling his support from Columbia University over the ongoing anti-Israel protest at the Manhattan campus.
“It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life and for that I have been tremendously grateful,” Kraft said in a statement. “However, the school I love so much – the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity – is no longer an institution I recognize.”
“I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country,” Kraft added. “I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.

Something is very, very wrong in the Ivy League.
Maybe some of these millionaires/billionaires should use that money to effect wholesale changes at those Universities, but don't hold your breath.
The Columbia School of Terrorism
Cancel Columbia
How much does it take to buy a clue?
It is of course driven by anti-Zionist sentiment.
And yes, the hate is spilling over.
That and the illegal protesting shouldn’t be tolerated at all.
“The Columbia School of Terrorism”
LOL!!!
These Colleges may have met their match with today’s radicalism - it’s no longer that tolerable anti-war stuff, it’s full blown terrorist hate.
Bring some more across the border.
NFL Ping!......................
Stop giving and hiring.
I’m sure Columbia has vilifying whites and Christians for decades. Apparently, Kraft didn’t have a problem with that.
Yale shut down the protests. Columbia is weak.
It's not just the Ivy League that there is a problem, the entire "Higher Education" system is affected. There are some small pockets of sanity but Colleges and Universities are mostly crazy
It won’t be a happy ending for Columbia.
New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft was quite willing to support Marxist, anti-white dogma from Columbia University, and now acts surprised when it’s turned on him.
Columbia isn’t “weak”.
They’re simply intransigent.
They need to be shut down and put out of business.
You beat me to it. This guy is exactly the kind of stunted @sshole who made Columbia University what it is. It’s been a hotbed of Marxism for a hundred years.
My mother’s aunt, 1899-1977, who was raised in Washington Heights, graduated from Columbia Teacher’s College. Even back in the 1970’s she made a clear distinction between the teachers college and “Columbia”.
