Tomorrow at 9:45 a.m., the Committee on Education and the Workforce, chaired by Virginia Foxx (R-NC), will hold a full committee hearing with the presidents of Northwestern University, Rutgers University, and UCLA. The hearing is titled "Calling for Accountability: Stopping Antisemitic College Chaos."
“The Committee has a clear message for mealy-mouthed, spineless college leaders: Congress will not tolerate your dereliction of your duty to your Jewish students,” said Chairwoman Foxx. “No stone must go unturned while buildings are being defaced, campus greens are being captured, or graduations are being ruined. College is not a park for playacting juveniles or a battleground for radical activists. Everyone affiliated with these universities will receive a healthy dose of reality: actions have consequences.”
