"Republican Criticism of Columbia University's Handling of Anti-Semitism"

House Republicans criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar for suggesting that protests at Columbia University were not "anti-Jewish," with one member expressing disbelief at the university president's initial testimony denying any anti-Jewish incidents. Jewish students described instances of discrimination and harassment on campus, including a professor's alleged derogatory remarks and physical confrontations. The students expressed hope that the congressional hearing would bring attention to the issue and lead to meaningful action by the university.
