House Education chair announces probe into Harvard, MIT, Penn over ‘rampant antisemitism’

The House Education Committee launched a formal investigation Thursday into antisemitism at three top colleges after their presidents refused to directly condemn calls for Jewish genocide as “hate speech.”
Committee chair Virginia Foxx called the responses “absolutely unacceptable” and threatened to use subpoenas to gather the “substantial” number of documents the House wants to see.
The college presidents —at Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT—have been hit with calls for their resignations after a ferocious backlash to their testimonies. Some politicians have called for an end to their institutions' tax-exempt status.
