House Committee Criticizes Harvard's Handling of Anti-Semitic Student Conduct
Harvard University failed to impose meaningful discipline on students involved in anti-Israel protests, according to a House Education and Workforce Committee report.
- Harvard referred 68 students for discipline due to their participation in an anti-Israel encampment, but none were suspended.
- Most of the referred students remain in good standing, with only 15 on probation and one on leave.
- The House Committee on Education and the Workforce claims Harvard's actions violate Title VI, which mandates protection against a hostile environment based on race, color, or national origin.
- The committee report highlights that students who disrupted classes with anti-Semitic chants received only informal admonishments.
- Harvard restored full privileges to the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee, despite their involvement in organizing the encampment.
