The House Education and the Workforce Committee has revealed that Harvard University failed to discipline students involved in antisemitic activities on campus. According to the committee, no students were suspended for their participation in protests and encampments that disrupted classes and intimidated other students, including incidents between October 7 and the spring encampment. This lack of action by Harvard is seen as a violation of its obligations under Title VI. Representative Virginia Foxx and other committee members criticized Harvard's administration for their inadequate response, calling for the university to show moral clarity and stand up for Jewish students.
