2023 United States Congress hearing on antisemitism

On December 5, 2023, the United States House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing on antisemitism on college campuses. The committee called a few university leaders to testify, including the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the widely televised hearing, the presidents answered questions about their schools' policies, including those on antisemitism. After the hearing, the committee called for the resignation of the presidents, and announced a Congressional investigation "with the full force of subpoena power" into the same issues.

Four days later, on December 9, 2023, Liz Magill, president of the University of Pennsylvania, submitted her resignation, partly in response to backlash resulting from the hearing. Less than one month later, on January 2, 2024, Harvard University's president Claudine Gay resigned from the office, following the hearing on antisemitism and allegations of plagiarism. MIT president Sally Kornbluth received a statement of support from the institute's board of trustees and continued to serve as the institute's president.
