US Congress launches investigation into antisemitism at top universities

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce has initiated an investigation into Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT following controversial testimonies on handling antisemitism. Elise Stefanik, a prominent House Republican, condemned the presidents' testimony and announced a congressional investigation. The investigation will hold these universities accountable for their perceived failure on the global stage. The White House issued a statement condemning calls for genocide. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has intensified scrutiny of how universities address and respond to antisemitism.
