The House GOP has threatened to subpoena Columbia University over its failure to produce documents related to an antisemitism investigation. House Education Committee Chair Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) warned that subpoenas would be issued if the university does not comply with the committee's requests by the specified deadline. The investigation focuses on allegations of antisemitism and support for terrorism on Columbia's campus since October 7. Columbia University, which is tax-exempt and receives hundreds of millions in federal funds, is under scrutiny for its handling of these allegations.
