House Republicans Probe Allegations of Anti-Semitism at UC–San Francisco

This comes after a rash of pro-Palestinian protests erupted on college campuses in the U.S. following last year’s attack by the terrorist group Hamas on Israel.

Republican members of three U.S. House of Representatives committees are pressing the University of California–San Francisco (UCSF) to provide more information related to reported allegations of anti-Semitism on its campus.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee’s chairwoman, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, sent a letter on July 31 to UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood citing hundreds of complaints of anti-Semitism or hostile work environments on campus by university employees and patients at the medical center that were received by the university’s office of prevention of harassment and discrimination.
