Harvard University has handed over 1,500 pages of documents to the House Committee investigating claims of anti-Semitism. The committee is currently reviewing the documents to determine if they are satisfied with the information provided. The subpoena requested details on communication between top Harvard leadership and efforts to address anti-Semitism on campus.
Previously, the committee chairwoman, Republican representative Virginia Foxx, had deemed the materials received as insufficient. However, a Harvard spokesperson defended the latest submission, stating that Harvard has provided nearly 4,900 pages of information in 11 submissions since January. This includes both non-public and internal communications, as well as public information requested by the committee.
Harvard is the first institution to receive subpoenas in this investigation. The committee is also looking into other Ivy League institutions such as MIT and UPenn. The ongoing review of the documents will shed light on Harvard's efforts to combat anti-Semitism and provide insight into the communication within the university's leadership regarding this issue.
As the committee continues its assessment of the newly submitted information, further updates on their findings are anticipated. The investigation into anti-Semitism at Harvard and other Ivy League institutions remains a focal point for the committee, with a commitment to thorough examination and transparency in the process.
