Columbia Deans Resign Over Texts Officials Say Contained Antisemitic Tropes
9th August 2024
Three deans at Columbia University have resigned from the school after text messages that officials said contained antisemitic tropes were revealed.
A spokesperson for the school confirmed the resignations of Cristen Kromm, former dean of undergraduate student life; Matthew Patashnick, former associate dean for student and family support; and Susan Chang-Kim, former vice dean and chief administrative officer.
The messages occurred in a group chat during an event at the university called “Jewish Life on Campus: Past, Present, and Future,” and were discovered by The Washington Free Beacon.
