Outspoken Columbia business professor Shai Davidai was banned from campus after he clashed with rowdy anti-Israel protesters and confronted school officials last week during the first anniversary of Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state.
The Ivy League school sent Davidai’s lawyer a letter stating that the professor’s access to school grounds was cut off as of 3 p.m. Tuesday because Columbia leaders claimed he harassed at least five faculty members during the raucous scene, violating school rules.
“Threats of intimidation, harassment or other threatening behavior by University employees, including faculty members, will not be tolerated,” the school said in the letter that Davidai provided to The Post.
The Israeli native, who is conducting research and not teaching this semester, is not suspended and can return to campus after he completes workplace conduct training and complies with school policy, Columbia said in its letter.
