Nemat Talaat Shafik, Baroness Shafik (Arabic: نعمت طلعت شفيق; born 13 August 1962), commonly known as Minouche Shafik (مينوش شفيق), 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. She was the first woman to serve as Columbia's president.
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 & 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]
