"House Condemns University Presidents' Antisemitism Testimony, Calls for Resignations"

The House has passed a resolution condemning the testimony of three university presidents, including Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania, over their response to questions about antisemitism on college campuses. The measure criticizes their evasiveness and failure to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews. Following backlash, the president of the University of Pennsylvania has resigned, while the resolution suggests that the presidents of Harvard and MIT should also step down. The resolution was approved in a 303-126 vote, with some Democrats and one Republican voting against it. The testimony has faced scrutiny from lawmakers, business leaders, and donors, and comes amid increased attention to antisemitism following recent events in Israel.
