“Harvard does not appear to have disciplined, and instead has rewarded, two students who assaulted an Israeli Jewish student,” Reps. Tim Walberg and Elise Stefanik stated.
Republicans on the Committee on Education and Workforce demanded answers from Harvard University on Monday about whether the school has created a hostile environment for Jews.
Reps. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), chair of the committee, and Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), chair of the House Republican Leadership, wrote to Harvard president Alan Garber about potential violations of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discriminating on the basis of race, color and national origin.
“Harvard does not appear to have disciplined, and instead has rewarded, two students who assaulted an Israeli Jewish student who was filming a ‘die-in’ protest on Oct. 18, 2023,” they wrote.
