Leon Cooperman said he would stop donating to his alma mater over difficulties containing campus tensions.
A Jewish billionaire Columbia University alumni said he would stop donating to his alma mater for struggling to contain campus tensions over the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
On October 12, the university's President Minouche Shafik wrote in a statement that the 'atmosphere on campus is extremely charged and many are concerned for their personal safety,' with students 'experiencing disturbing antisemitic and Islamophobic acts, including intimidation and outright violence.'The move came after an Israeli Columbia student who had been hanging up posters in support of Israel was physically assaulted.
