Columbia’s most outspoken critic of anti-Israel protests denied entry to campus for pro-Jewish rally

Columbia’s most outspoken critic of anti-Israel protests denied entry to campus for pro-Jewish rally


A Jewish Columbia University professor who has been a vocal critic of the administration’s response to the ongoing anti-Israel student protests on Monday said he was barred from its main campus. Israeli-born Shai Davidai, an assistant professor at Columbia Business School and an outspoken supporter of the Jewish state, said when he swiped his key card at the school’s Morningside Heights campus it read “deactivated,” prompting a crowd of pro-Israel protesters to shout “Let him in!” and “Shame!” “They are not letting me on main campus,” he told a crowd of pro-Israel rallies at the school’s gate.
