The leaders faced grilling from the GOP-led House Education Committee.
House GOP calls Northwestern, Rutgers and UCLA leaders to testify on college protests, alleged antisemitismDemonstrators display placards at an encampment where students are protesting in support of Palestinians, April 25, 2024, at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.The GOP-led House Education Committee on Thursday called on more university leaders to defend their handling of pro-Palestinian protests and respond to allegations of antisemitism on campus.
The five-and-a-half-month election-year crusade has so far resulted in investigations of each school, the subsequent ousters of two university presidents -- Harvard's Claudine Gay and Penn's Liz Magill -- and even the first congressional subpoena of a university in this committee's more than 150-year history.
Last month, as college protests over the Israel-Hamas war boiled over, House Education Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx said her panel had a "clear message for mealy-mouthed, spineless college leaders: Congress will not tolerate your dereliction of your duty to your Jewish students."
