"House Resolution Rebukes Campus Antisemitism, Calls for Rejection of Hate at Universities"

The House passed a bipartisan resolution denouncing the congressional testimony of the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology regarding their handling of antisemitism on campus. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Elise Stefanik, passed by a 303-126 vote. While some Jewish Democrats voted against the rebuke, citing it as a political stunt, the resolution calls for the resignation of the university presidents. The testimony led to the resignation of Penn's president, Liz Magill, and an investigation into the universities' handling of antisemitism. The resolution also prompted the creation of a resource for reporting antisemitic harassment on campuses.
