Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., the Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, chaired by Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), will hold a hearing titled “Combating Workplace Antisemitism in Postsecondary Education: Protecting Employees from Discrimination.”
“As employers, colleges have a legal duty and moral obligation to protect staff and faculty from discrimination and harassment,” said Chairman Kiley. “The Committee’s wide-reaching antisemitism investigation exposed these institutions’ troubling pattern of willful dereliction of their legal duties and failure to address and prevent antisemitic incidents. This hearing will allow Committee members to hold these colleges accountable for their inability to protect their employees from abuse and unlawful discrimination.”
