Just Whom Is Columbia's Interim President Apologizing to?

Hat tip College Professors United for Jews and Israel




Columbia University's interim president, Katrina Armstrong, has issued a public apology in connection with this year's police actions against the encampment and occupation of a campus building by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. The apology is reported in the Columbia Spectator, the campus newspaper of Columbia. The problem is-just whom is she apologizing to?

It does not appear that the apology is directed at students and university staff whose studies/teaching were disrupted by the occupation. It does not appear that the apology was directed at the families of Columbia students who are paying high tuitions to Columbia  and getting disruption of services.

Most importantly, there is no apology to Columbia's Jewish students, who have been the victims of harassment, insults, and disruption of their events for years now, culminating in the encampments and occupations on campus by pro-Hamas thugs in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist atrocities against Israel. 

For the life of me, I do not understand why any Jewish students would want to attend this joke of a university.
