Columbia University will put in place several measures to fight anti-Semitism on its campuses, the institution’s acting president, Claire Shipman, said in a July 15 letter to the university’s community.

“There is no place for intimidation, hateful language, or targeting of Jews or Israelis at Columbia, and we have zero tolerance for this behavior,” she wrote.
