Congressional Hearing on Anti-Semitism on College Campuses

The presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of Pennsylvania are set to testify before Congress on Dec. 5, addressing the pressing issue of antisemitism on college campuses.

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce will host the hearing, as announced on Tuesday, shedding light on the rise of antisemitic incidents on campuses across the nation. Chair Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., expressed concern about the apparent inaction of college administrators in the face of escalating rhetoric.

“Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen countless examples of antisemitic demonstrators on college campuses,” Foxx said. “Meanwhile, college administrators have largely stood by, allowing horrific rhetoric to fester and grow.” (Excerpt from NEWSMAX.)
