House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik has been leading the charge in investigating and highlighting campus antisemitism, particularly at Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. Stefanik's sharp questioning at a recent hearing, where university presidents failed to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews, sparked bipartisan backlash and condemnation.
