University Leaders Face Congressional Scrutiny Over Campus Antisemitism

Northwestern University President Michael Schill faced intense questioning from House Republicans during a Congressional hearing over his agreement with pro-Palestinian student organizers to end an encampment on campus. Schill defended the deal as a measure to ensure student safety and promote dialogue, while critics accused him of capitulating to antisemitic activists. The hearing is part of a broader GOP effort to address antisemitism on college campuses, though some Democrats argue it lacks meaningful solutions and undermines higher education.
