Harvard Blamed Jewish Victim Assaulted At Campus Protest, House Committee Alleges
The Chamber’s Education Committee and the workforce allegedly allegedly alleged that the University of Harvard had not punished the students for their actions during anti-Israeli demonstrations in 2023 and rather blamed an Israeli student for provoking the demonstrators.
The Committee allegedly allegedly allegedly “rewarded” two students who attacked a Jewish student for having filmed their protest during an event of October 18, 2023. The university is accused of having hampered the investigation of the district prosecutor on the aggression, of not disciplining one or the other of the students, offering one of the attackers a scholarship of $ 65,000 after the event, and Israeli “has technically his rights … [t]The way he took videos seems provocative. »»
“The committee is deeply concerned about the fact that Harvard does not comply with his obligations under title VI, while a survey by the Ministry of Health and Social Services has concluded,” said the letter to Harvard. The committee told the school that he continued to investigate anti -Semitism at university.
Harvard would also have told his business school not to send a community message after the assault, saying ” [Middle Eastern and North African] The students … will be very upset, ”according to the letter.
Harvard did not respond to the request for comments from the Daily Call News Foundation.

The University would also hesitate to put an end to its partnership with the Birzeit University in the West Bank, a school which, according to the Committee, “massively supports Hamas”.
The Committee also examines whether Harvard has implemented the international definition of anti -Semitism of the anti -Semitism of the Alliance of the Souvenir of Holocaust (IHRA), which lists certain types of criticism of Israel as potential “demonstrations” of anti -Semitism.

“Under Title VI, even the discourse protected by the first amendment can contribute to an illegal hostile environment,” wrote the committee. “Thus, title VI demands that universities quickly approach incidents creating a hostile environment.”
Harvard must provide the committee with an overview of how and when the university has responded to anti -Semitic incidents and all communications concerning the events he listed in his letter. Its deadline is October 13.
A federal judge recently canceled the reductions in federal subsidies of $ 2 billion from the Trump administration in Harvard for allegations of anti -Semitism, among other concerns. The court decided that the actions of the federal government focused on Harvard’s rights to freedom of expression and said that the university had already agreed to tackle the problems independently.
