"U.S. Lawmakers Call for Removal of College Presidents Amid Antisemitism Controversy"
Over 70 U.S. lawmakers have called for the removal of the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) following their testimony at a hearing on antisemitism on campuses. The lawmakers argue that the presidents' handling of clashes between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian groups and their failure to provide a clear stance on calling for the genocide of Jews demonstrate an "antisemitic posture." The presidents have faced mounting criticism from their schools' Jewish communities, with calls for their resignations increasing since the hearing. The lawmakers demand immediate action to ensure the safety of Jewish and Israeli students, teachers, and faculty on these campuses.
