House Education and Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C) is raising pressure on top U.S. universities to cooperate with her committee’s investigation of campus anti-Semitism.
For weeks, Ms. Foxx has been scrutinizing how universities have handled allegations of anti-Semitic harassment on campuses. Earlier this month, she expanded that investigation by sending a letter to Harvard University, asking the Ivy League institution to voluntarily turn over by Jan. 23 records of how it handles incidents targeting Jewish individuals and organizations on campus. She wasn’t satisfied with the response she received.
