Abdul Kayum Ahmed
public health professor, Columbia
A professor Abdul Kayum Ahmed allegedly said Columbia’s School of Public Health and the building that houses it in Washington Heights shouldn’t be named after Jews Joseph Mailman and Armand Hammer, public health graduate student Marc Nock claimed.
“He said, `What have they done except give the school `blood money?’ That’s an antisemitic trope,” Nock told The Post. The class was called “foundations in public health.”
“There was a lot of hatred being taught,” Nock claimed. “The teaching of hatred is not OK. It was bizarre to be in this place to see this stuff happening.
Ahmed received a letter from Columbia’s School of Public Health last week saying that his employment as profesor would not be renewed next year — though it did not cite criticism of his statements or advocacy as an issue, the Columbia Spectator reported.
