House Republicans have doubled the investigation into disciplinary action at a university that says anti-Israel “adgitators” ran in the wild.
The House Education and Workforce Committee on the Education and Workforce on Thursday asked five U.S. universities about their first response to anti-Semitism since October 2023, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Tim Wahlberg of Michigan and Tim Wahlberg of Burgess Owens in Utah detailed their concerns, as well as protests at Northwestern University, Pomona College, Bowdo-in College and Sarah Lawrence College, as well as various “anti-Semitism” cases.

“As chairman of the Education and Workforce Committee (Committee) and the subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development, we write to express our concern about two recent incidents on Bernard University’s campus,” Walberg’s chairman wrote.
Lawmakers pointed to protests in Bernard in February and March, when anti-Israeli mobs were allegedly occupying the building, assaulting employees, “disturbing library operations and scattering Prohama pamphlets.”

In a statement, Northwestern told DCNF:
“While free expression and academic freedom are one of our core values, these values have made it clear that they do not provide excuses for behaviour that threatens the well-being of others,” the school said. “I feel confident in the actions I have taken to deal with anti-Semitism on campus, including my student code of conduct, disciplinary procedures and investments in public safety.”
“We continue to work tirelessly to make the university a safe and non-discriminatory educational institution,” the university told DCNF.
