Congressional Hearings Address Antisemitism in Higher Education
Three universities, including UC Berkeley, are under scrutiny as congressional hearings focus on allegations of antisemitism within higher education. UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons is set to testify before a House committee, with live updates available on the proceedings. The hearings have drawn attention from various academic and union leaders, who are mobilizing in response. Key figures, including a Michigan Congressman, are demanding explanations from institutions like Haverford College regarding their handling of antisemitism complaints. As these discussions unfold, concerns about free speech and the influence of labor unions on campus culture are also being voiced.
