Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina sent a letter to Northwestern University leaders, slamming what she called a failure to respond to lawmakers' questions on antisemitism.
Congressional investigators are accusing Northwestern University’s president of stonewalling their investigation into the university’s response to anti-Israel unrest on its campus. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., the chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, sent a letter to Northwestern University leaders on Friday, slamming their failure to respond to lawmakers’ questions sent nearly a month ago.
We do not want to see these students going back on the campuses where they don't feel safe, where they are not safe. We have to get to the bottom of this,' the congresswoman said. The House committee launched its investigation after a group of students and faculty held a week of demonstrations on campus that included an encampment on Deering Meadow in late April, which ended after university officials reached a negotiated agreement with the protesters.
Congressional investigators are giving Northwestern one week – until June 13 – to respond to their requests. If the university fails to meet that deadline, Foxx said Northwestern will become just the second institution of higher education to be subpoenad by the House Committee on Education and Workforce going back to 1867. Earlier this year, Harvard became the first, over its refusal to cooperate with investigators looking into antisemitism on its campus.
