A congressional hearing scheduled for July 15 will examine antisemitism in higher education, focusing on the roles of faculty, funding, and ideology. The hearing will feature testimony from leaders of Georgetown University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the City University of New York (CUNY). However, CUNY Chancellor Felix Matos-Rodriguez has not confirmed his attendance and is reportedly attempting to avoid the hearing for the second time. Lawmakers and commentators have criticized CUNY's leadership for allegedly enabling antisemitism on its campuses. The discussion also includes concerns about labor unions' influence on campus antisemitism, as highlighted in recent opinion pieces. The hearing aims to hold university leaders accountable for addressing antisemitism within their institutions.
