Harvard President Faces Congressional Grilling on Campus Antisemitism and 'Intifada' Remarks

During a House committee hearing on antisemitism on college campuses, Rep. Elise Stefanik grilled Harvard University President Dr. Claudine Gay over instances of students calling for violence and genocide against Jews. Stefanik challenged Gay to confirm that such speech was not protected free speech at Harvard and questioned if it violated the university's code of conduct. Gay admitted the speech was abhorrent but deflected when pressed for specifics on disciplinary actions. Stefanik criticized Harvard's handling of antisemitism and called for Gay's resignation.
