Title: Unprecedented Subpoena on Campus Antisemitism: Harvard Fails to Comply as per Rep. Virginia Foxx’s Demand
The House Education Committee, chaired by Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), issued an unprecedented subpoena to Harvard University in a bid to obtain documents related to antisemitism on the esteemed Ivy League campus. However, Harvard has allegedly failed to comply with the subpoena, prompting Rep. Foxx to contemplate an appropriate response.
In a statement released Tuesday, Rep. Foxx expressed her disappointment with Harvard’s lack of cooperation. She stated that the university had not adhered to the Committee’s subpoena in good faith, emphasizing the significance of this issue and the need for transparency.
Harvard was expected to comply with the subpoena by 5 pm ET on Monday, marking the first time a university had been subjected to such a demand since the House Education Committee was established in March 1867. Although Harvard did submit another batch of documents regarding antisemitism on campus, Rep. Foxx claimed that many were heavily redacted and deemed useless or duplicates of previously submitted documents.
The Republican chairwoman expressed her frustration, stating that Harvard’s actions were “shameful,” regardless of whether they stemmed from arrogance, ineptitude, or indifference. Harvard officials have not yet commented on the matter.
This developing story will be closely monitored as Rep. Foxx and the House Education Committee decide their next steps in response to Harvard’s non-compliance with the subpoena.
Stay tuned for updates on this evolving situation.
