2023 United States Congress hearing on antisemitism information


Committee chair Virginia Foxx (R-NC) led the hearing.

On December 5, 2023, the United States House Committee on Education & the Workforce held a hearing on antisemitism on college campuses. The committee called a few university leaders to testify, including the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1]

In the widely televised hearing, the presidents answered questions about their schools' policies, including those on antisemitism.[2][3] After the hearing, the committee called for the resignation of the presidents, and announced a Congressional investigation "with the full force of subpoena power" into the same issues.[4]

The following week, Liz Magill, president of Penn, submitted her resignation, partly in response to backlash resulting from the hearing.[5][6] In January, Harvard president Claudine Gay resigned as well, following the hearing on antisemitism and allegations of plagiarism.[7]
