College Leaders Face Congress Over Campus Antisemitism Allegations
Congress is set to question administrators from Northwestern, UCLA, and Rutgers over their handling of campus antisemitism, with accusations of negotiating with pro-Hamas groups and failing to protect Jewish students. The hearing, titled "Calling for Accountability: Stopping Antisemitic College Chaos," follows similar scrutiny faced by Penn, Harvard, and MIT last year, leading to resignations of their presidents. Critics argue that the universities' actions have emboldened antisemitic behavior and failed to uphold campus safety and conduct codes.
