Christopher Rim, a college consultant, said only one of around a dozen students he's working with that were accepted to Columbia is still considering going after antisemitic reports.
The campus hostility and antisemitic accusations have even led some aspiring students to look elsewhere, according to a New York-based college consultant, who said only one of around a dozen accepted Columbia students he's working with is still considering attending. Megan Myers is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.
"This student is actually international, so he doesn't fully understand the scope of what's going on, but every other student that I'm working with has said, ‘no, thank you’ to Columbia, and they're looking for other options," said Christopher Rim, the founder and CEO of Command Education, a top-tier college consulting group.
Anti-Israel protests at Columbia reached a boiling point this month after a pro-Palestinian encampment formed on campus, causing fear and escalating growing tensions among some students. The protests reportedly led to over 100 arrests, and led the college to switch to hybrid or virtual learning to close out the semester due to safety concerns.
