CONGRESS OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO HARVARD OVER ANTISEMITISM ON CAMPUS

Just two days after hearing testimony from Harvard President Claudine Gay and
other leaders in higher education, Congress announced an investigation into
Harvard over antisemitism. By Julian J. Giordano

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce launched a congressional
investigation into Harvard over allegations of antisemitism on campus, the
committee announced on Thursday.

The investigation into Harvard comes two days after Harvard President Claudine
Gay testified before Congress during a tense hearing about antisemitism on
college and university campuses. Gay, who testified alongside MIT President
Sally A. Kornbluth and University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill,
faced a wave of backlash over her testimony.




Rep. Elise M. Stefanik ’06 (R-N.Y.) announced the investigation in a statement
to The Crimson Thursday afternoon.



“After this week’s pathetic and morally bankrupt testimony by university
presidents when answering my questions, the Education and Workforce Committee is
launching an official Congressional investigation with the full force of
subpoena power into Penn, MIT, & Harvard and others,” Stefanik wrote. “We will
use our full Congressional authority to hold these schools accountable for their
failure on the global stage.”

The committee announced in a statement on its official X account that it will be
taking “additional action to hold Harvard, UPenn, and MIT accountable for
failing to provide Jewish students with the safe learning environment they are
due under law.”

"These actions will include document requests for their policies and
disciplinary records as the Committee examines their seemingly deplorable
record,” the committee added.

University spokesperson Jonathan L. Swain declined to comment on the
investigation, writing that the University had not yet received official notice
from the Committee as of Thursday afternoon.




This is a developing story and will be updated.
