Columbia University has removed three deans from their positions after text messages containing antisemitic tropes were discovered. Nemat Shafik, the university president, described the sentiments in the messages as 'unacceptable and deeply upsetting.' The deans will be permanently removed, and antisemitism training will be instituted. However, the deans remain employed by the university and have been placed on indefinite leave. The texts were first reported by Aaron Sibarium of Free Beacon, according to the NYT.
