Several Republican House committees, including the Education and Workforce Committee, Ways and Means Committee, House Commerce Committee, Judiciary Committee, Oversight Committee, and Transportation Committee, have sent 10 letters to universities as part of a Congress-wide effort to curb antisemitism on college campuses. Representative Virginia Foxx highlighted the significance of the issue by noting the willingness of university presidents to participate in the first hearing on campus antisemitism, organized in the wake of events on October 7th. Foxx emphasized that the problem extends beyond feelings of antisemitism to include harmful actions against students.
