Three senior administrators at Columbia University have resigned following a controversy over antisemitic text messages. These administrators, who held the position of deans, were placed on indefinite leave last month after the messages were exchanged during a panel discussion about Jewish life on campus. The texts were deemed to contain antisemitic tropes, prompting their removal and subsequent resignations.
