Former Columbia University interim president interviewed by federal government

Investigators from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) interviewed former Columbia University interim President Katrina Armstrong over campus antisemitism issues, according to a report.

The Wall Street Journal reported that investigators from HHS interviewed Armstrong on April 1 during a closed-door deposition following her resignation on March 28. Armstrong also announced Sunday she’s taking a leave from her position at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where she was the chief executive officer.

During the deposition, Armstrong said she didn’t know about allegations of Jewish students being spit on and didn’t know names of several faculty members who allegedly handed out pro-Hamas material that defended the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.

Armstrong also said she didn’t know students at Columbia University were calling for Israel’s destruction.
