Community Columbia Unbecoming – Then and Now

Community At NYU, Cliques Aside, Jewish Culture Thrives
Walking onto NYU’s campus during my freshman year, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I feared the worst.

Over the last few years I have been asked countless times to explain why supporters of women’s and gay rights ally with an intolerant Palestinian Arab society in which misogyny and honor killings are commonplace.

An independent investigation has vindicated a pro-Palestinian group charged with fostering an anti-Semitic climate at the nation’s largest urban public university.
