Columbia Administrators Fire Off Hostile and Dismissive Text Messages, Vomit Emojis During Alumni Reunion Panel on Jewish Life
Free Beacon ^ | June 12, 2024 | Eliana Johnson and Aaron Sibarium

On Friday, May 31, alumni descended on Columbia University's Manhattan campus to celebrate their class reunions. In addition to eating and drinking, the festivities included several panel discussions featuring professors and administrators...

In the audience, according to two attendees, were several top members of the Columbia administration. Given the sensitivity of the subject—the eruption of anti-Semitism on campus in the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel put a national spotlight on the school, and Columbia recently settled a lawsuit with a Jewish student who accused the school of fostering an unsafe learning environment—the administrators' presence made sense.

The administrators included Josef Sorett, the dean of Columbia College; Susan Chang-Kim, the vice dean and chief administrative officer of Columbia College; Cristen Kromm, the dean of undergraduate student life; and Matthew Patashnick, the associate dean for student and family support.

Throughout the panel, which unfolded over nearly two hours, Chang-Kim was on her phone texting her colleagues about the proceedings—and they were replying to her in turn. As the panelists offered frank appraisals of the climate Jewish students have faced, Columbia's top officials responded with mockery and vitriol, dismissing claims of anti-Semitism and suggesting, in Patashnick's words, that Jewish figures on campus were exploiting the moment for "fundraising potential."

Ivy league schools, generations of ignorant barbarians churning out ignorant barbarians.

Only a few years ago, no one would have believe that antisemitism would ever raise its hideous head again—and in America of all places!

Unfortunately, I can name only a handful of conservative Jews, and I’m married to one of them. Embrace the suck!

Just how evil and depraved can supposedly- intelligent college administrators get, anyway?

I wouldn’t give Columbia a cent. Let them eat from the hands of their irsnhsn and Qatari and Saudi masters

When I grew up we said “Never Again”. Nowadays, the attitude is becoming “Let's get it right this time”

Sick.

Growing up in the aftermath of carnage and genocide of the 20th Century people of good faith asked , “How could this have happened”

These day I totally understand exactly how it happened because we are seeing history repeat itself.

How many lives have been wiped out because of “educated” intellectuals? 100 million? 200 million?

I also understand how it happened.

Living in Germany from 1969 (just 24 years after the end of World War II) to 1972 and making a pilgrimage to the horrifying Dachau "camp", I struggled to understand. I couldn't. The Germans I knew were lovely people.

Today I understand. I also see lovely people in America going down the same, horrifying path.

We can scream warnings, but nothing can reach ears deafened by denial and minds willingly brainwashed.

Note tagline, but do not expect the willingly deafened, blinded, and brainwashed to grasp the terrifying reality. If they were capable of learning, they would not have to be told, at least not more than once.

F@#$ Columbia. F@#$ all elite colleges. All they do is indoctrinate, not educate. And these “Administrators” are just another example.

My brother married a Jew. He converted and is raising their children in the Jewish faith.

We are no longer on speaking terms because I “Support that Nazi lover”.
