Three university presidents will be summoned to Capitol Hill next week to testify as part of the House Education and the Workforce Committee's investigation into antisemitism on college campuses. The heads of Northwestern University, the University of California, Los Angeles and Rutgers University will participate in a May 23 hearing titled, 'Calling for Accountability: Stopping Antisemitic College Chaos,' committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said recently.
Fox News Digital reached out to the committee to inquire when that closed-door interview will be held. 'Over the last several days, the presidents of Northwestern and Rutgers have made shocking concessions to the unlawful antisemitic encampments on their campuses,' Foxx said last week. 'They have surrendered to antisemitic radicals in despicable displays of cowardice.
Chancellor Francine Conway noted protesters’ request for divestment from companies doing business with Israel and for Rutgers to cut ties with Tel Aviv University. She said the request is under review, but 'such decisions fall outside of our administrative scope.' Activity at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, abated after protesters reached an agreement with administrators.
