House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik said she wants to prohibit her alma mater Harvard and other universities enabling 'antisemitism' from collecting taxpayer money.
A top Republican wants to prohibit Harvard and other universities allowing 'antisemitism' to go unchecked on their campuses from collecting large sums of taxpayer money. Harvard and other elite schools have faced scrutiny over rising antisemitic events unfolding on their campuses and their lackluster response to the incidents in the wake of Hamas' bloody onslaught on Israelis and their subsequent counter-response.
Stefanik has been outspoken against her alma mater since more than two dozen student groups at the university castigated Israel and supported Palestinians in Gaza shortly after Hamas' attack on Israeli civilians. The Harvard student organizations' statement, released on the day of the Hamas attacks, said the events did not occur 'in a vacuum.
Jewish students at the university have also reportedly faced 'anti-Israel and antisemitic bias' from Harvard professor Marshall Ganz, the Boston Herald reported. These events and others prompted some of the university's influential donors to end their relationships with the school. Due to the increasing incidents, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan withdrew his offer to participate in Harvard’s fellowship programs.
