It has no place on our campus, and I am committed to doing everything that I can to confront it directly. It is distressing that some in our community have acted in a manner that is inconsistent with our values. I am deeply pained by the reports of members of our community feeling harassed and targeted because of their identity or faith. We have significant and important work to do to address antisemitism on our campus and to make sure that Jewish members of our community feel safe and welcome.

The OCE's non-partisan staff obtains evidence and testimony through interviews and document requests. All evidence received and interviews conducted by the OCE staff are subject to the False Statements Act, which provides for criminal penalties when witnesses falsify evidence or make false statements during a federal government investigation. An Office of Advice and Education, with its own director who reports to the chief counsel, was established within the Committee in 1990 under the Ethics Reform Act.
Special Policies and Procedures Relating to Fine Notifications and Appeals
Many of these decisions were not popular, and provoked strong reactions from students, faculty, and outside groups. But President Shafik, the Board, and other University leaders felt they were essential to ensure the safety of our students on campus. We modified our events policies, which clarified the rules for campus demonstrations. The University designated demonstration areas that are available for student protests during set hours. These locations are intended to be prominent and central, while limiting interference with ongoing University activities and ensuring that students who wish to stay away from these demonstrations can avoid them. If students wish to hold a demonstration outside of one of these designated areas, they must seek approval.

Statement of Board of Trustees Co-Chair Claire Shipman
To increase the reporting of antisemitic and other hate incidents, Columbia launched the Enhanced Reporting Initiative. This initiative increased the online accessibility of the University’s reporting system, Maxient, to make it easier for community members to file reports. The initiative also created posters with QR codes directing members of our community to the system. Additionally, the initiative created a telephone helpline to answer any questions about reporting incidents and accessing support.

The response to antisemitism on campus has been the same, with the Board involved every step of the way. We have been in constant communication with the University’s leadership, including President Shafik, and have observed the University’s dedication to student safety and eradicating hate on our campuses firsthand. Columbia’s disciplinary processes and support services were not prepared for the volume and the nature of violations that we saw after October 7.

Statement from Columbia University President Minouche Shafik
Each Congress, CSOs must register with the Committee in order to use official resources. At least one officer of a CSO must be an employee of the House, and all officers must be employees of the House or Senate. Members may devote a section of their official website to CMO issues. CMOs may have independent web pages when no official resources are used, outside of staff time, to create and support the site. Neither CMOs nor individual Members may accept goods, funds, or services from private organizations or individuals to support the CMO.
Their charge is to develop a forum for feedback and suggest improvements. The University began responding immediately after the terrorist attack on October 7. We worked to contact those directly affected by the attack and to identify the forms of support we could provide our community members—both in the region and on our campus. I attended a vigil for the victims of the Hamas attack on October 9 and connected with members of our community who were dealing with deep distress.
Ordinary and necessary expenses related to programs established by the Member to promote the public good or civic service, or to solicit input/information from constituents related to official business are reimbursable. Any program’s title may only include the state and district of the Member. Informational programs include conferences, seminars, briefings, forums and symposiums on issues, policies and legislative matters that directly relate to the district or the Member’s work in Congress.
