The House Committee on Education and the Workforce plans to hold a May 7 hearing titled “Beyond the Ivy League: Stopping the spread of antisemitism on American campuses” with the presidents of California Polytechnic State University, Haverford College and DePaul University.
The college presidents will “answer for mishandling of antisemitic, violent protests,” the committee stated.
“For the past few years, our committee has played a critical role in both uncovering the rampant antisemitism on college campuses and holding administrators accountable,” stated Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), the committee chair.
“This hearing is a continuation of this work so that we can ensure Jewish students across the nation don’t face threats or harassment in violation of Title VI,” under the 1964 Civil Rights Law, Walberg stated. “Numerous legislative options are under consideration to make certain that schools across the country are ensuring a safe learning environment for all students in compliance with federal law.”
