The upcoming Congressional hearing on antisemitism, scheduled for December 5th, will feature testimonies from the presidents of three prominent universities: Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. The hearing, led by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, chaired by Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx, aims to address the surge in tensions on college campuses, particularly following the October 7th terror attacks by Hamas against Israel.

Rep. Foxx has expressed a strong commitment to holding university leaders accountable for combating antisemitism. She emphasized the responsibility of college administrators in maintaining a safe and inclusive learning environment and criticized the inadequate response to growing antisemitism in academic institutions. The hearing is expected to include insights from Harvard President Claudine Gay, MIT President Sally Kornbluth, and Penn President Liz Magill, providing a platform for addressing this crucial issue on campuses across the country
