Condemning antisemitism on University campuses and the testimony of University Presidents in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
Summary
House Resolution 927 is a formal statement by the House of Representatives that officially condemns the rise of antisemitism on college campuses and denounces the testimony provided by the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania during a December 2023 congressional hearing. The resolution specifically criticizes the university leaders for failing to state clearly that calling for the genocide of Jews violates their institutions’ codes of conduct. As a "simple resolution," this measure does not create new laws or mandate specific funding; instead, it serves as a formal expression of the sense of Congress, intended to increase public pressure on educational institutions to update their harassment policies and campus safety protocols.
