A recent 365-page report compiled by the House Education and Workforce Committee sheds light on how several prominent universities in the United States responded to pro-Palestinian protests following Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. The investigation, which spanned over a year and involved 11 schools nationwide, uncovered various concerning actions and decisions made by university leaders.
One notable incident highlighted in the report involved Harvard University, where senior administrators reportedly hesitated to label the Oct. 7 attack as 'violent' to avoid assigning blame. Additionally, Northwestern University faced scrutiny for considering removing Sabra hummus from campus in response to protests, with the university president even entertaining the idea to appease demonstrators.
