Harvard, Penn Presidents Do Damage Control After Disastrous Congressional Testimonies

Antisemitism has become a growing concern on college campuses across the U.S. since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, but the Ivy Leagues have seen a particularly alarming increase in incidences. Harvard President Claudine Gay, MIT President Sally Kornbluth, and University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill appeared before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on Tuesday where they were grilled by lawmakers about their respective responses, which have been abysmal. Not surprisingly, their testimonies were just as bad, prompting some damage control on Wednesday.
