Columbia University protests: Rep. Elise Stefanik urges trustees to remove Shafik after mob seizes building
Fox News
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., called for the removal of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik after a mob of anti-Israel protesters took over an academic building.
The mob held workers hostage, provided demands to the university and barricaded the building, and as of the letter, it was still occupied. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
"These actions, as well as the illegal encampment and violent riots, go far beyond any right to free speech protected under the First Amendment," Stefanik said. "This violence is a direct result of the appeasement policies President Minouche Shafik has used to address antisemitism on campus.

"President Shafik has allowed campus to be taken by mob rule, and she must immediately be removed, so this occupation can be met with swift and overwhelming response to retake campus, restore order, and protect Jewish students."
