<p>Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned effective immediately after the school was rocked by far-left pro-Hamas riots earlier this year.</p>
<p>The riots got so out of control that the extremists took over an entire building on the university&#8217;s campus in New York. A large number of NYPD officers were needed to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-storms-columbias-hamilton-hall-after-pro-hamas-protesters-illegally-took-control-of-building">liberate</a> the building but only after Shafik initially refused to let police take action.</p>
<p>Shafik said that her resignation was effective immediately and that today was her last day, complaining that the situation that she helped foster took &#8220;a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Over the summer, I have been able to reflect and have decided that my moving on at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I am making this announcement now so that new leadership can be in place before the new term begins.&#8221;</p>
<p>House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) celebrated Shafik’s resignation, saying that her “failed presidency was untenable and that is was only a matter of time before her forced resignation.”</p>
<p>“After failing to protect Jewish students and negotiating with pro Hamas terrorists, this forced resignation is long overdue,” Stefanik said. “We will continue to demand moral clarity, condemnation of antisemitism, protection of Jewish students and faculty, and stronger leadership from American higher education institutions.”</p>
<p>Shafik revealed that she has been approached by far-left British Prime Minister Keir Starmer&#8217;s government to &#8220;chair a review of the government&#8217;s approach to international development and how to improve capability.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am very pleased and appreciative that this will afford me the opportunity to return to work on fighting global poverty and promoting sustainable development, areas of lifelong interest to me,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It also enables me to return to the House of Lords to reengage with the important legislative agenda put forth by the new UK government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Starmer&#8217;s approval rating has <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/08/10/starmer-popularity-slumps-after-criticism-of-riots-respon/">plummeted</a> amid his tyrannical response to protests in his country over how mass immigration is ruining the country. Starmer is so extreme that his government is arresting people for complaining about mass migration on social media, posting videos that increase anti-migrant sentiment, and British police have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/uk-police-chief-suggests-he-would-arrest-americans-for-highlighting-british-riots-online">threatened</a> to charge American citizens for posting videos of what is happening and warning against mass migration.</p>
