Education

Nemat Talaat Shafik, Baroness Shafik (born 13 August 1962), commonly known as Minouche Shafik, is a British-American academic and economist. [2] She served as the president and vice chancellor of the London School of Economics from 2017 to 2023, and then as the 20th president of Columbia University from July 2023 to August 2024.

From 2014 to 2017, Shafik served as a deputy governor of the Bank of England and also previously as permanent secretary of the United Kingdom's Department for International Development from 2008 to 2011. [3] She has also served as a vice president at the World Bank [4] and as a deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund. [5] She has been a member of the House of Lords as a life peer since 2020, but is currently on a leave of absence. [6]

Shafik was head of Columbia University during the 2024 Columbia University protests. On 17 April 2024, Shafik testified before the United States House Committee on Education and the Workforce regarding antisemitism on the Columbia University campus. From student protests, congressional investigations, faculty, and lawmakers, she had been pressured to resign her position. [7] [8] She resigned from the office on 14 August 2024. [9]

Early life and education

Shafik was born in Alexandria, Egypt, to Muslim parents who were both educators. [10] Her father was a scientist and wealthy landowner. [11] [12] As a child, she went to Schutz American School. When she was four, the Egyptian government nationalized (brought into public ownership) her father's property [13] and the family moved to Savannah, Georgia in the mid-1960s, then to Miami and Raleigh, North Carolina. [14]

Shafik was educated for a year at the American University in Cairo. [15] She then graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, with a major in economics and politics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1983. She gained a Master of Science degree in economics from the London School of Economics in 1986, then a Doctorate of Philosophy in economics from the University of Oxford, in 1989. [16]

Economic career

After Oxford, Shafik joined the World Bank and held a variety of roles, starting in the research department where she worked on global economic modelling and forecasting and then later on environmental issues. She moved to do macroeconomic work on Europe and the Middle East where she published a number of books and articles on the region's economic future, the economics of peace, labour markets, regional integration, and gender issues. [17] At age 36, Shafik became the World Bank's youngest-ever Vice President. [18] [19]

Shafik has held academic appointments, as adjunct professor in the Economics Department at Georgetown University from 1989 to 1994, and as visiting associate professor at the Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania in Spring 1996. [20]

She initially went to the British Government's Department for International Development (DFID) on secondment as Director General for Country Programmes where she was responsible for all of DFID's overseas offices and financing across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. She was appointed as DFID's Permanent Secretary in 2008 where she managed a bilateral aid programme in over 100 countries, multilateral policies and financing for the United Nations, European Union and international financial institutions, and overall development policy and research – responsible for 2400 staff and a budget of £38 billion (about US$60 billion) for 2011–2014. [21]

Shafik served as IMF Deputy Managing Director from April 2011 until March 2014. As Deputy Managing Director, she oversaw the IMF's work in Europe and the Middle East, a $1 billion administrative budget, human resources for its 3,000 staff and the IMF's training and technical assistance for policy makers around the world. [22]

Shafik joined the Bank of England as its first Deputy Governor on Markets and Banking responsible for the Bank's £500 billion balance sheet and served as a Member of the bank's Monetary Policy Committee, Financial Policy Committee and the Board of the Prudential Regulatory Authority. She led the Bank's Fair and Effective Markets review to tackle misconduct in financial markets.

Presidencies

London School of Economics

On 12 September 2016, it was announced that Shafik had been appointed as the next Director of the London School of Economics, replacing sociologist Craig Calhoun. She took up the post on 1 September 2017. [23]

During Shafik's directorship of the LSE, levels of academic casualisation increased, with the number of academics on fixed term contracts increasing from 55 percent in 2016 through 2017 to 59 percent in 2021 through 2022, according to Higher Education Statistical Agency data. [24] This rise occurred in contrast to many other universities in the UK, where the number of permanent staff grew during this same period. [24] As a result, the student-to-permanent staff ratio at LSE decreased during Shafik's directorship and had the lowest student-to-permanent staff ratio among comparable universities in the UK in July 2023. [24]

Columbia University

On 18 January 2023, Columbia University's board of trustees announced Shafik's appointment as president of the university. [25] She became president of Columbia University on 1 July 2023. [26] [27] Her inauguration occurred on 4 October 2023. [25]

After the Israel–Hamas conflict intensified in October 2023, and an altercation concerning an Israeli student lead to legal action, Shafik issued a statement saying that if "speech is unlawful or violates University rules, it will not be tolerated". [28] While some, including US House of Representative member Ritchie Torres, and US Congresswoman Kathy Manning, [29] said she should have done more to protect Jewish students from anti-Semitic violence on campus; [28] [30] faculty and graduate workers [31] raised concerns over her decision to suspend pro-Palestine student groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) from the campus for repeatedly violating University policies relating to on campus events.

In November 2023, Shafik was invited to attend the 2023 United States Congress hearing on antisemitism, but declined, citing a scheduling conflict. [32] [33] She later gave testimony before the United States House Committee on Education & the Workforce on 17 April 2024, along with David Greenwald and Claire Shipman, co-chairs of the Trustees of Columbia University. [34] Former presidential advisors and consultants Shailagh Murray, Dana Remus, and Philippe Reines, along with lawyers, political officials, and experts on antisemitism prepared Shafik for the hearing for months. [2]

Pro-Palestinian protests and controversy

As a result of campus protests and the campus occupation by pro-Palestinian demonstrators that began on 17 April 2024, Shafik called on the NYPD to clear an encampment established by protesters near the center of the university's campus, and police arrested more than 100 students on 22 April. [35] The same day, she announced that the university had canceled in-person classes to move to hybrid learning. [35] The demonstrations outside Columbia’s campus sometimes included pro-Hamas antisemitic hate speech and threats, [2] resulting in protesters targeting some Jewish students. [36]

Shafik established a headquarters to address the protests at the law firm of Covington & Burling near the White House when she was in Washington, D.C., to testify before the United States House Committee on Education & the Workforce. [2] Her actions in ordering the arrests were criticised by the American Association of University Professors, PEN America, president Serene Jones of Union Theological Seminary, and the Columbia College Student Council. [37] [38] [39] Faculty denounced what it called an "unprecedented assault on student rights". [2] Hundreds of Columbia professors staged a walkout and signed onto an open letter criticizing her handling of the demonstrations. [40]

Columbia donor and alumnus Robert Kraft, founder of Columbia's Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, [41] suspended donations to the university, as did billionaire Len Blavatnik, due to beliefs that Columbia was insufficiently preventing campus antisemitism. [7] Republican lawmakers, whom Shafik initially intended to appeal to in her congressional testimony, called for her resignation. [2] These included House Speaker Mike Johnson and at least a dozen members of Congress who claimed that the school failed to protect Jewish students. [40]

Both Democratic and Republican officials joined Representative Elise Stefanik in urging Shafik to resign, including U.S. Senators John Fetterman and Tim Scott, and Representative Jim Banks. [42] Columbia University's senate drafted and circulated a censure resolution against Shafik for abridging "the fundamental requirements of academic freedom" and causing an "unprecedented assault on student rights". [43] A few days later, the university senate stopped short of a censure vote, instead calling out Shafik and her administration for "breaching the due-process rights of students and professors" and called for further investigation into the matter. [44]

On 29 April 2024, Shafik announced that negotiations with student protesters stalled and that the "university will not divest from Israel". [45] She requested NYPD intervention for the second time in two weeks the following day, leading to the arrest of an additional 108 individuals. She also requested an NYPD presence through at least 17 May, two days after the scheduled commencement, which she later cancelled on 6 May. [46] Instead, Shafik conferred degrees via e-mail. [47] The Columbia Faculty of Arts and Sciences initiated a vote of no-confidence on 10 May. The motion criticised Shafik’s decisions to have students arrested and impose a campus lock-down with an on-going police presence. It also said her plans to fire and investigate faculty members for comments they made about Israel were "clear violations" of academic freedom. [48] It passed on 16 May, with 65 percent of the 709 professors voting in favor of the resolution. [49]

On 14 August 2024, Shafik resigned from the presidency. [50] Following her resignation, she announced that she would be accepting a role with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs to chair a review of the British government’s approach to international development. [51] [52]

In a 2023 piece published on the International Monetary Fund's website, as part of the promotion of her book, What We Owe Each Other: A New Social Contract, Shafik indicated that she was worried about 'cancel culture' on university campuses, commenting: "The point of university is to be intellectually challenged and confronted with difference." She argued that universities needed to 'teach people to have difficult conversations', adding: “It’s through that process of listening that you learn, you build consensus, and you move forward as a community." [13]

The university suspended operations upon the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, during which no individual served as president. When it was resuscitated by the New York State Legislature, the university was placed directly under the control of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York; its chancellor, George Clinton, served as the de facto president of Columbia University. Through the efforts of Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, control of the university was returned to a private board of trustees in 1787, which has to this day maintained the right to appoint or remove the president, who also serves on the board ex officio. The university's first president was Samuel Johnson, who held the office from 1754 to 1763, and its current interim president is Katrina Armstrong, whose tenure began on August 14, 2024.
