USA LIVE: College Administrators Grilled Over Campus Antisemitism in House Committee Hearing | N18G

Описание: LIVE: US College Administrators Grilled Over Campus Antisemitism by House Committee | USA LIVE | CNBC TV18
Members of Congress are preparing to grill "morally bankrupt administrators" from Northwestern, UCLA and Rutgers Thursday regarding their handling of campus antisemitism that has swept the nation’s colleges.
"Northwestern, Rutgers and UCLA negotiated with pro-Hamas terrorist encampments, bent the knee to the radical antisemitic mob and surrendered their campuses to illegal antisemitic encampments while repeatedly ignoring the harassment and violence against Jewish students and faculty," Rep. Elise Stefanik
. "House Republicans will use every tool at our disposal to ensure accountability from campus leadership for allowing self-proclaimed terrorists to turn once acclaimed American colleges into dens of antisemitic hate."
The committee is the same body that grilled the presidents of Penn, Harvard and MIT last year about their handling of campus antisemitism. The hearing was shortly followed by Penn President Liz Magill and Harvard President Claudine Gay resigning from their positions amid widespread backlash for waffling on whether calls for the genocide of Jews violated their respective schools’ codes of conduct.
"Today’s hearing on anti-Israel encampments is a key moment to ask these presidents about their financial ties and cowardly responses to pro-Hamas protesters who praised terrorist organizations, called for violence against Jewish students and advocated for the destruction of the democratic state of Israel."
