    Three Columbia Administrators Placed on Leave Amid Allegations of Disparaging Texts About Rabbi and Campus Protests

    Broke On: Monday, 24 June 2024 Three Columbia University administrators, including Dean Josef Sorett, have been placed on leave following the revelation of disparaging text messages exchanged during a panel discussion about antisemitism on campus. The messages contained derogatory comments towards a campus rabbi's essay and suggestions for using protests for fundraising. The controversy arises amid ongoing debates over allegedly antisemitic protests against Israel's military campaign in Gaza, which led to the removal of protesters from an administration building last fall. Columbia University has declined to comment on why Sorett is not under investigation or who will conduct it.
