House Republicans are demanding details about incidents of “pervasive antisemitism” at Columbia University — even after the departure of its president who let anti-Israel students take over campus last year.
Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) fired off a letter Thursday to the Ivy League school, demanding information about incidents ranging from Hillary Clinton being shouted down by anti-Israel protesters to letting undergrads who occupied Hamilton Hall skate on disciplinary charges.
“Columbia’s failure to address the pervasive antisemitism that persists on campus is untenable, particularly given that the university receives billions in federal funding,” Walberg (R-Mich.) wrote in the missive to interim president Katrina Armstrong.
The chairman asked for all disciplinary files on specific incidents spanning from April 2024 to January 2025 to be turned over by Feb. 27 to his panel.
