Cal Poly, DePaul and Haverford Head to Capitol Hill
Briefly

Congress is re-evaluating responses to campus antisemitism, focusing on universities like Cal Poly, DePaul, and Haverford, following previous hearings on more prominent schools. Lawmakers are addressing compliance with federal civil rights laws after noting specific alleged antisemitism linked to pro-Palestinian protests at these institutions. Both DePaul and Haverford received failing grades on the Anti-Defamation League’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card. As leaders testify before Congress, scrutiny over academic response to such issues continues to intensify, reflecting broader national concerns about antisemitism in academic settings.
In letters to Cal Poly, DePaul and Haverford, Congress told campus leaders that events related to pro-Palestinian protests raised questions about their compliance with federal civil rights laws.
In the last round of hearings, Congress focused on some of the country's wealthiest and most visible institutions, grilling their presidents over handling pro-Palestinian campus protests.
