US EditionHaverford College president berated by GOP lawmakers over campus antisemitism response
- In December 2023, Haverford College President Wendy Raymond and two other university presidents testified before the House Education Committee about campus antisemitism during a Capitol Hill hearing.
- The hearing followed increased scrutiny from Republican lawmakers over university responses to antisemitism and pro-Palestinian protests after Hamas' October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel sparked nationwide campus demonstrations.
- Republicans accused the universities of insufficiently addressing antisemitism, highlighting incidents like assaults on Jewish students at DePaul and controversial faculty statements, while Raymond declined to disclose disciplinary records.

- The hearing intensified political debate, resulting in two university leaders stepping down and raising questions about federal oversight effectiveness amid ongoing funding cuts and partisan tensions over antisemitism on campuses.
