In the wake of a contentious hearing, House Education Committee Chair Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) reaffirmed on Friday that the investigation into rising antisemitism on college campuses is far from over. Foxx made it clear that the probe will not be limited to the three schools that were at the center of recent controversy: Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

During an interview with News Nation on The Hill, Foxx emphasized that the committee is conducting a thorough investigation into other institutions, including Columbia, Cornell, and many others where antisemitic demonstrations have taken place without adequate response from the administrations. She expressed concern for the safety of students in such situations.

When asked if Harvard President Claudine Gay would be called to testify again before lawmakers, Foxx stated that decisions regarding witness testimonies will be based on the progress of the ongoing investigation announced earlier this month. Foxx mentioned that bringing Gay back was not her personal preference, but did acknowledge the possibility of further questioning if deemed necessary. She alluded to the potential interest of Harvard graduates in having Gay appear before the committee again.

Foxx revealed that the committee intends to send extensive written questions to the implicated schools and expects timely responses. However, she did not provide a specific timeline for when these answers are expected or how long the campuses would have to comply.

These statements come shortly after the presidents of Harvard, UPenn, and MIT testified before the House, leading to calls for their resignation or removal. The subsequent passing of a resolution condemning their testimony further intensified the criticism. During the hearing, the administrators declined to state whether advocating for the genocide of Jewish individuals would violate their schools' policies.

In response to the backlash, UPenn President Liz Magill and the chairman of the school's board of trustees resigned, while Harvard President Claudine Gay chose to remain in her position with the support of the board.

Foxx reiterated the committee's steadfast commitment to see the investigation through to its conclusion. She underscored the importance of conducting a thorough and meticulous inquiry, ensuring the acquisition of accurate information to present to the American people.

The investigation into rising antisemitism on college campuses remains ongoing, expanding beyond the recent focus on Harvard, UPenn, and MIT. The House Education Committee intends to scrutinize the handling of antisemitic incidents at various universities, seeking accountability and aiming to keep students safe. As the investigation progresses, further steps will be taken to address concerns and gather necessary evidence.
