Columbia University is under scrutiny following a House report criticizing the institution for not expelling any students involved in occupying a campus building. The House Committee on Education and the Workforce has issued six subpoenas to Columbia for documents related to an investigation into antisemitism on campus. The committee, led by Virginia Foxx, has condemned the university's administration for its perceived inaction against students accused of pro-terrorist activities. The investigation includes allegations of a misinformation campaign involving Israeli students and controversial statements by student leader Khymani James. Foxx emphasized the importance of ensuring a safe learning environment for Jewish students.
