• New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik last week led the questioning at a House Education Committee of three university presidents about antisemitism on campus, particularly after Hamas attacked Israel, then declared war on the Palestinian militant group in Gaza.
• The social media post by Stefanik, who is also chairwoman of the House Republican Conference reads:
• “One down. Two to go. This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most ‘prestigious’ higher education institutions in America. This forced resignation of the President of @Penn is the bare minimum of what is required. These universities can anticipate a robust and comprehensive Congressional investigation of all facets of their institutions negligent perpetration of antisemitism including administrative, faculty, and overall leadership and governance.@Harvard and @MIT, do the right thing. The world is watching. In the case of @Harvard, President Gay was asked by me 17x whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard’s code of conduct. She spoke her truth 17x. And the world heard. In the case of @MIT Dr. Kornbluth answered the question. “If targeted at individuals” ie dehumanizing the Jewish people in her answer.”
