House Republicans Propose Cutting Federal Funds to Universities Boycotting Israel

A GOP-led report highlights campus antisemitism and recommends measures targeting universities and nonprofits accused of anti-Israel bias.

The Republican-led House report criticizes universities for failing to address antisemitism and recommends cutting federal student aid to institutions boycotting Israel.
The report highlights incidents of harassment and intimidation of Jewish students at prominent universities, including Harvard and Columbia, and criticizes administrators' responses.
It calls for legislation to revoke tax-exempt status from nonprofits allegedly supporting terrorism and scrutinizing federal research grants to ensure Jewish students' safety.
The findings focus on left-leaning groups and campus protests, with minimal attention to right-wing antisemitism, raising concerns about political motivations.
Critics argue the report conflates anti-Zionism with antisemitism and could undermine free speech and academic independence under the guise of combating discrimination.
