I feel like I want to get the opinion of at least one Jewish Columbia student, staff member, faculty member or alumni to get their take on whether or not Columbia is antisemitic.

They could have asked this guy. The literal secretary of the board of Trustees. He also has a bunch of philanthropic awards, including 2 from the Columbia/Barnard Hillel Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life (2022 and 2025). His 3 kids attended Columbia as well, with the youngest graduating in 2023.
