New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who has long provided financial backing to his alma mater, Columbia University, said he will no longer contribute to the Ivy League school—until it creates a safe environment for Jewish students on campus.
Mr. Kraft, an Orthodox Jew whose late wife Myra’s grandparents died in the Holocaust, made the announcement on April 22 in the wake of the rising hostilities behind ongoing pro-Hamas, antisemitic protests on the university’s campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood in Upper Manhattan.
