"Universities Grapple with Congressional Inquiry and Donor Backlash over Antisemitism Handling"

Harvard, M.I.T., and the University of Pennsylvania are facing a congressional investigation, withdrawal of a $100 million donation, and calls for the resignation of their presidents over their handling of antisemitism on campus. The universities' responses to questions about disciplining students for calling for the genocide of Jews have sparked accusations of inadequate action and even fostering antisemitism. A House committee has opened an investigation into the institutions, and demands for disciplinary procedures and leadership changes have been made. The universities' presidents have faced criticism for their handling of the issue, with donors threatening to withdraw funding and politicians calling for their resignation.
