Columbia Names Jewish-Life Liaison Under Antisemitism Deal

Israel National News reported July 3 that Columbia University selected Michelle Greenberg-Kobrin as its Jewish-life liaison, filling a role created under the university's July 2025 settlement with the Trump administration after federal pressure over campus antisemitism. Columbia's April compliance report says the liaison was meant to support Jewish life, serve students on antisemitism issues and advise university leaders. JNS and Columbia Spectator say the agreement restored more than $400 million in canceled federal research grants, and that Greenberg-Kobrin is a former Columbia Law dean of students and Cardozo professor. Jewish students deserve visible protection, not quiet accommodation of anti-Israel intimidation.
