"Campus Antisemitism: College Presidents Face Backlash and Calls for Resignation"

The presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT are facing calls for their resignations after their refusal to explicitly state whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates their schools' code of conduct against bullying and harassment. The presidents' responses during a congressional hearing have been criticized as "unacceptable and antisemitic," with accusations that they are failing to protect Jewish students on their campuses. The universities have been under scrutiny for their handling of a rise in antisemitism since the Israel-Hamas war began. Investigations into antisemitism and Islamophobia on campuses have been opened by the federal government.
